I applied to several companies a few weeks ago, jobs are still posted, but I haven't gotten a single call, email, or text to interview OR to reject my application....very frustrating!

Is this even a good time to be looking at a career change with all the HR/TA layoffs that have been happening? 🤔 I have a stable job, Im just severely underpaid and struggling to make ends meet.

I would say it depends on the industry. It's not competitive like it was this time last year, but there's still a need. Though, we are in the slow season through the rest of the year - you'll potentially see a few pockets of activity, but largely slow right now.

I appreciate the insight, thank you!

Two recruiters have told me that specific major national firms refuse to interview any current or former employees of the firm I work for. is this a big problem or something usual for firms? Panic set in and I’m worried I won’t find decent employment. Current role is underpaying and workload is unmanageable with zero sign of improvement.
