I was laid off in January here in London, UK and it's been a wake-up call as well. In 2021 you could turn up at the wrong building for an interview and still walk out with a job offer. Someone who tried to hire me in 2021 (I turned them down), went seeking themselves in 2022 and had 8 offers. They went seeking again in 2023 (they chose poorly, hated it) and it took them 6 months and dozens upon dozens of interviews to secure something. They don't call it a job market for nothing.
