Similar experience.

Really bad timing for some other life events that took me out of and brought me back to the market now.

I’ve stretched my network. All the companies in it are laying off or have frozen hiring. Connections themselves are unmotivated and/or trying to find more secure jobs, too (are they out there?).

All my close recruiting buddies that have landed me lots of interviews and roles in the past have nothing.

I have significant experience. Doesn’t seem to be helping. I’ve never experienced anything like this. Even in 2008, when I only had a handful of years under my belt, I found a new gig pretty easily.

I’m trying to figure out how to adapt to… whatever this is, so I can figure out the meta game and escape it. So far, no dice.

I wish you the best, along with everyone else in this boat.
