Congrats on the revenue!

I would possibly be worried if revenue wasn't coming in faster that my product wasn't really a hit.

Perhaps you could consider a better angle or target a more specific audience? I like the idea of charging companies that need employees (they are always hiring) rather than job seekers that need a job (they are rarely looking).

Examples of good angles:

Key:Values [0] (1 person, ~$30k/mrr) matches job seekers with company values, levels.fyi [1] (2 people, ~$5k/mrr) matches job seekers with salaries, and there was a job board posted here for "old programmers" (don't know the link). KV and levels don't need a "critical mass" of job seekers, they need a critical mass of companies that are hiring, so it seems to me like a good angle plus a small pool of company profiles could be pretty effective for building a jobs business more rapidly.
