You can look for a new job, but be aware that:

- there's a recession going on

- many companies stopped hiring, they're demanding more productivity from their existing employees, and are laying off people

- there is a deluge of experienced, highly skilled people looking for jobs right now (all the people that fell victim to 10% layoffs)

- inflation is high, people are asking for higher salaries

- many companies can't pay higher salaries

> there's a recession going on

Unemployment is historically low accros Europe and the USA. You don’t have to keep listing to big tech companies which had brain dead hiring policies for the past three years and are now scrambling to protect the value of their shares.

The employment market is doing fine right now for most of us. Most companies certainly didn’t stop hiring. Most are actually short handed.

How do you know this. I still see lots of recruiters pestering me for a 'casual call'.

Me too, if anything the past 2 months has been busier than the 6 months before.

I think it is a soft recession, and employers aren't looking to cut employees, they are looking to replace them with more cost effective employees.
