How is the job market in everyone's area? I ask because I'm in the Midwest and the job market is a dumpster fire. I have been looking for a new job for over three months and I'm starting to stress because I have no clue how long it will be before I find something.

From what I have heard, the job market has been tough everywhere. I wanted to quit and find a better job but all of this news about people spending months looking for a job or sending 100s of applications have given me pause.

Orlando Florida here! The job market is a dumpster fire as well. I’ve been applying for 3 months too. I have a degree and a few years of valuable experience but I guess that’s just not enough.

I’d say-it depends. I’m in the Bay Area and I know of a number of agencies and places hiring. They are not hiring in mass. But this doesn’t mean it’s a fire. It means, you need to be the best version of you, and for what the company thinks they need. Also depends on the industry you are in.

Does anyone have ideas on how to navigate a smaller team environment when everyone’s roles seem to be stretched (hiring for additional people has been taking a while, not sure why). The stress causes some tension and that’s probably not great for the overall morale of the company long-term. I try to ignore and just stay focused on what I need to do yet sometimes proves challenging. I worry it might affect my professional/career growth. Thoughts on this would be helpful, thanks!
