I took a contract assignment with less money and after 18 months I was offered a position with the same pay I had previously.
With this job climate, don’t chase the money, choose the best path for advancement and the ability to utilize your talents.

That’s really good to know, thanks for sharing your experience. Stories like that make contract roles feel a lot less risky. In this market especially, it’s helpful to hear that taking a contract position can still lead to something stable down the line!
I'm curious about that myself. I've been trying to find a better job and it seems like the job market is moribund. I've been trying to reach out to former colleagues and do some networking, but nothing much seems to come of that. I think what we all need would be for things to turn around, and that may require a lot of patience.

I feel the same way. The market just seems really sluggish right now. Reaching out to former colleagues is still a good move, even if it doesn’t lead to something right away. I guess sometimes those conversations take a while to turn into anything.
I landed a director-level position this month. Honestly I got lucky more than anything else. Found an interesting posting put up by a third-party recruiter, he quickly got in touch with me, put me in contact with the company, and from there it was smooth sailing.

That’s awesome, congrats! Sometimes a bit of luck really is part of the equation.
Being in the right place at the right time certainly helps. I’ve been working through my network. Trying to see if anybody knows where I should focus my attention. Have gotten a few strong leads, but still waiting to see where they go.

That sounds like the right approach. And honestly, being in the right place at the right time is easier said than done. Working through network and getting a few solid leads is still progress though. Hopefully one of them turns into something for you real soon!
