A little over 6 months unemployed with around 6 years of experience. Recruiters dried up except for a couple spouts last year and couple last month. Most of the interviews were shockingly hostile. Job applications are a void and frankly I’m seeing less and less jobs relevant to my skill self and less generalist jobs in general.
If things don’t shape up this month, I’m preparing for the worst and possibly giving up. It probably hurts a lot, but I’m still preferring remote. I had a lot of bad luck at the beginning of the year and had to hemorrhage a ton of money on emergencies and am steadily bleeding mostly through rent and bills. I really do not want to pay for moving expenses right now.

I need to be headhunted" You give people the least bit of power and they quickly show their true colors...
- the_only_law 3y agoWorst I had was one where one guy hijacked the interview to just complain about all the other candidates. I’d try to take the conversation somewhere more productive, but this guy was really good with tangents.
