I'll be on the academic market next year. In my field (business), the market has been better than expected, but we are quite priviliged.

I'm hoping next year will be closer to normal, but I do have concerns about the long term future of the career I've chosen.

One thought. Find an adjacent domain that intersects yours, maybe an industry vertical, and develop a specialty aspect to your primary field. It can really be a differentiator and give you a fallback skilset and network should shit hit the fan.
