All my exit opps have been officially frozen until further notice 😭 this was supposed to be my year. I am beyond burnt out. All companies I see still hiring want engineers/highly technical. I’m so sad

Lads and ladies, hang on- the wise make feast even in famine. Be a bit more positive and think what else you could do. Drop me a DM if you want career advice / tips on starting a side hustle. I personally am still hearing from recruiters and getting interviews. Also side hustle has been better than ever!!

Finished my loop for a marketing role 2 weeks ago, and got an email the next day that they wanted to give me an offer. Had my initial call with recruiter to put the offer together. It was lower than I expected, and we ended that call positively as I needed some time to consider, and we agreed to follow up in a few days. It’s now been a week and both recruiters have been unresponsive. Did I just lose this offer bc I tried to negotiate a more equitable comp pack, or is it a slow process?
