I am thinking on giving up (NOT on life! I haven’t reach that point and pray I NEVER do). I am so tired of being asked on my age, my race, if I am hispanic or a non Hispanic (my race again), if Im a protected veteran, and last if I have a disability. Discrimination is rampant. A resume is required to be uploaded, and fill out their application, a SS #, 2 phone numbers, and NOT even an interview yet. Most there is NO interview. Still NO job a year later. I’m tired and have had enough.

I can totally relate. I've been looking for 4 months with only 5 interviews. I've applied to in-person, remote, part time, contract, and even things like the grocery store just because I'm desperate for money. At this point, there are no other options and I don't know what to do either. I understand the market is bad, but what do you do when you've exhausted all options and have ran your savings dry? I wish I had words of wisdom, but sadly I'm in the same boat 😔

Im so sorry. 😞 Yeah, it is rough out there. And it hasn’t become better yet. My neighbor just lost his job. My son lost his new job because the company folded, and my brother may have to look for another job because another company bought out the company he is working for. He has been there awhile. There are thousands upon thousands upon thousands in the same boat too. My heart hurts for them all! It cannot keep going like this. Something has got to give.

I owned a business for 6 yrs and had a B2C sales role for 3 yrs after (not SaaS). I’ve now been a B2B2C Key Account Manager at a Fitness Tech scale up for 6 mos and would like to be making more $ so am considering applying to other B2B SaaS companies. I currently own the entire (long) sales cycle from prospecting to account management. I’d like to stay in a similar role in another company. Will I have a difficult time landing an SDR/BDR, AE or CSM role elsewhere? I’m a 48 yo female.
