How’s the job market now? I’m working fully remote for a company that’s going through silent layoffs and I feel I need to gear up if that’s me next.

Rough but not impossible. I just got a job offer about a month ago. It took me about 3 months to land the job. During that time I was rejected, ghosted and disappointed by other opportunities - you have to expect that before beginning your search.

No, no layoffs. It was a small startup and I started to feel like it was failing. Lots of key people were resigning and the sales team hadn’t sold anything in over a year.

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
