If your only skill is filling out spreadsheets and discussing the data on those spreadsheets please improve your skillset.
Not exactly. It really depends on the role and your target pay grade. Many companies are paying a fraction of the previous salary that employees received before they were laid off from the same position. Additionally, many hiring managers are dealing with a large number of applicants competing for a single position.

Dell does Tech?
they do tech support no true development or engineering
Depends on where you live mate. Even London can be tough.
Companies specializing in recruiting are predicting an even worse 2024 so don’t think the tech market is going to rebound any time soon, if ever - thanks to greedy executives trying to replace as many people with AI as possible
"I was laid off in Feb of last year and luckily picked up a job within 3 months"
you basically contradicted yourself in the same sentence.
I would say it's a function of how much time spent at dell. The longer you stay the harder it will be to move on. Decades at dell is almost a death sentence
I was laid off in Feb of last year and luckily picked up a job within 3 months but the tech job market su-ks right now.

Not as easy when you have Over 50 Disease, and don't check any DEI boxes.
Tell that to the people at Dell that got laid off in Aug and Feb last year that are still looking. It's not as easy for many of us.
I got lucky and found work after about 2 months, but not after many rejections and no interviews/responses.
But I'm not good at what I do which is why I work for Dell.
