Many times I am running or walking outside my home and certain areas tend to constantly have less rain than the are just next to it.

In less than 10 feet of space separating them and the difference is large.

Micro climate: the climate of a very small or restricted area, especially when this differs from the climate of the surrounding area.

This is happening with the jobs market. There are many companies such as Amazon, Microsoft and Meta that have announced layoffs and “hiring freeze”, but there is micro hiring happening within these companies. I know 7-10 people laid off from these companies personally and 3-4 people who got hired within the last 2 months.

Micro hiring: the hiring profile of a very small or restricted team, especially when this differs from the hiring of the entire company.

Micro jobs and Micro hiring is a thing. Don’t let the headlines fool you. Look for opportunities in specific teams which have growth agendas within the companies.

Similarly the Reverse Covid play is another good jobs indicator.

Companies like Expedia laid off when Covid first hit (as did Uber) and now with “revenge travel” they are all hiring to staff up.
