Hi everyone,I have a question about the current job market, particularly in finance. I‘m located in Los Angeles and have been unemployed for the past year and a half. I apply for jobs daily and get interviews, only to be rejected.Is the job market really this bad, or is it just me? Am I imagining how difficult the market is right now?And if the market is truly this challenging, why do recruiters and hiring managers continue to focus so heavily on employment gaps and long-term unemployment? 🥺

I’m working at an insurance defense firm, trying to target my practice to L&E. I’m overworked and underpaid, but gaining valuable experience I hope to pivot toward an eventual in-house counsel position. I recently was offered an opportunity to lateral to a national firm for a significant pay increase (150% salary increase, much better benefits, hybrid WFH options). Problem-I would be shifting gears to Toxic Tort. I’m torn between my passion and the money. I’m a second year associate. WWYD?

Please advise, in my current organization 90 days notice period.
Due to this no company wants to schedule an interview. And due to some responsibilities the company will not release me before 90 days.

Please advise, how to move forward.
Do I need to resign without any offer in hand?

Is it a red flag if, after almost two years in a full quota carrying and selling role I want to take a lower role at another company in order to break into a field (tech sales) I want to work in? It’s better pay - closer to home and at a company with a better reputation?

Are cover letters important if they don’t ask for one?

If I should be writing one, any advice how to format?
