It’s not your resume. It’s not cover letters. It’s not AI. It’s not you. It’s the economy & politics. A side effect of high interest rates is unemployment. Companies borrow money (for payroll, capital projects, operational maintenance etc.). High interest rates discourage this. Also, under the last administration a new tax rule was put in place that went into effect a year to two ago. This tax rule now makes it more expensive for Tech companies to hire talent (anything software centric is impacted). It saddles them with a higher tax liability where as in the past they would try to write off such hires as capital expense. This is why a lot of software centric and adjacent roles are going overseas. TA has been disproportionately impacted because we’re on the front lines. If you’re looking for a job look at Utilities, Government and/or Defense sectors. Also look at Sales related jobs. (Recruiting is Marketing and Sales. ) You’re going to take a hit in income but you need to keep working. The market will get stupid again. It won’t however be 2025. Worst case, get to robbing ;-)
