How are folks finding job nowadays? Is it mostly through job postings on LinkedIn and applying to those? Or waiting on headhunter outreach?

On cold apps, what I learned is: a lot of internal recruiters are useless. They are not incentivized to get the best candidate asap to the hiring managers. They may not even know what McKinsey is or just remove your resume with some filters, or they are just lazy and not working, even when your experience strongly align with the JD. In those cases where I hit 90-100% bullets in the JD, I will reach out to the hiring manager on LinkedIn or via email (if I know) to let them know I applied. Done 5 times - got 5 interview invites the next day.

Networking with folks you know for the “invisible” postings and then scoring referrals for job postings are the most effective. I’ve been disappointed with headhunter outreach

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash. Assets are down a decent amount with the current market cycle and I’d prefer not to sell them to cover the debt , although they easily could. Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?
