How long did it take you to find a new job? Between when you first started looking to accepting an offer and then starting? I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth it to move back to my home office city (My project will be remote even after we go back into the office and I’m planning to start looking for exits in the fall)

I’ve been asked by a client to coach their team on how to structure and write scripts for their corporate event content (e.g. panel discussions).
