Agency PM here who had been laid off recently - the job market is TOUGH!
Things that I have been interested in: Agency PM, or AM roles, and in-house brand/PM roles (though few in Ontario, Canada).

I'm also a little stumped about where to go next sometimes.

Not much different in NYC. Lots of ghost roles or roles reposted. Lots of recruiters calling submissions and no follow up.
