on Thursday. "The free pay environment has sort of exacerbated the worst of the tech hiring, which has basically meant that companies are trading off ridiculous price-to-earnings ratios and have sort of exacerbated the overstaffing of these companies."," Farmer further cautioned that a "perfect storm" is headed for the technology sector, claiming the industry is most exposed to the Fed’s "incredibly aggressive" inflation period.
