I got very lucky: - Decided there was no future at my then current job in June - Applied to a handful of places with no response - Followed up with a recruiter who had been pinging me for a year. Turned out I was a great fit (aligned experience in math, data engineering, fintech), 3 rounds of interviews, accepted job offer in early July Would probably still be looking if the stars hadn't aligned (new job is great so far)
