Excited brag bc I’ve used this platform for advice over the past few months.

8 months unemployed

1,500+ applications

7 final interviews

And FINALLY one job offer. The job offer was 5k over asking expected, a company that’s great, and in an area that is much better than my current. It is slow BUT it will happen.

Fantastic, congratulations! I’m at nearly double your time unemployed, and nearly double the applications, and still nothing. Crickets. So actually, there’s no guarantee that “it will happen.” But I’m happy it did for you.
