I feel like every time I go on LinkedIn these days, there are lots of layoffs, the rise of AI is everywhere, the big groups keep swallowing other agencies, and there are 100+ people applying to just a handful of junior/mid level positions.

Is it worth staying in advertising? Or is it worth looking into something else entirely (e.g. health care)? Curious to see what other people think

Whether you should go into healthcare or not depends where you live. Everyone in NorCal is going into nursing right now, for example, and it’s very hard to find a job. As far as sticking with advertising, that may depend on your resources. How long can you hold out without a job? I bet you’ll find something eventually.

Start a business that is for the rich. They’re the only ones doing just fine, and will always be doing just fine

I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.

Need Suggestion.

I am the only developer in my team and my manager has assigned me a project in which I need to create a tool from scratch although that is currently running in production build by third party and we don't have access to that code.

I am on notice period and I am 100% sure that project won't be completed before my LWD.

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.
