And yes I know I can start interviewing now, I’m just beyond burned out

Depends on role. For private, ive applied to maybe 30 companies and heard back from 6-10. Several weeks of interviewing and just got 2 offers. For consulting id assume it’s easier though.

I miss the days when getting a good job could be accomplished within a week, two at most. It is brutal.

Not sure the job market has anything to do with you personally :) but as far as how difficult it will be for you, probably not TOO bad. You worked there long enough to be seen as competent and not too long in total to be overqualified. 5 years experience is a decent entry point for a lot of jobs.

NFW- I just had a good laugh. Earlier today I was on a video conference call reviewing a Private Label Agreement template with a larger company who wishes to brand label products we develop and manufacture. We came to a very one-sided provision and my sales VP stated “for this one, how can we just say ‘hell no’ ...nicely?” The other person on the call said we can replace the wording with just NFW (no f@$* way) and I said “I will have to add that to the defined terms section so it’s clear”

My favorite part of consulting is helping the consultants I manage improve their public speaking by designing talking points, reducing their fear or anxiety around speaking, and improving their executive presence.

Was hoping AMZN would be higher but they pegged the role a lvl lower than originally discussed during the process...so here we are.

Not sure if I should play my hand and push for more to stay or if they will just say "wait 5 weeks or here is the door"
