With the third quarter wrapped up, it’s time for another quick snapshot of recent news in engineering jobs. This list isn’t comprehensive, but captures most major announcements, as well as a sampling of smaller, more localized hiring and firing moves.

Overall, news of big hiring pushes—some really big—dominated, and generally layoffs were few and small. Most of the hiring action seemed to be outside of Silicon Valley—not surprising, given the tight market for both engineers and office space in the Bay Area.
