We're running a free event on the 2026 hiring market next week — panelists from Microsoft, Amazon, Instacart, and Expedia. Sharing in case it's useful (IK employee, not spam)
Full disclosure: I work at Interview Kickstart and helped put this together, so take that for what it is. That said, the content is genuinely free and there's no pitch baked into the event itself.
The panel is called Resurge 2026. It's happening May 12th, 6–8 PM PT. We're covering three things: what the actual 2026 hiring data looks like (jobs are coming back but AI fluency is now basically required), what the AI skill stack looks like by domain, and how interviews have changed at FAANG+ companies in the last 12 months.
Panelists are senior people from Microsoft, Amazon, Instacart, and Expedia — all actively hiring or recently interviewing candidates.
Free to attend, free resources afterward (AI stack guide and self-assessment rubric). Register here if interested: https://interviewkickstart.com/events/resurge2026?utm_source=social&utm_medium=reddit&utm_campaign=L10X_Social_Resurge_reddit9may
