I know hiring is abysmal right now but I’m getting far less bites than I was a year and a half ago (around Fall for context). I now have experience at two very reputable indie shops, produced work, and a bunch of pitch work experience. If I’m way more qualified now why are people responding to me at a much lower rate? Like recruiters I talked to back then are ignoring me now. It’s so hard not to spiral.

Search for new recruiters. The previous ones will see you shine.

I think it’s probably the market. When the economy is bad the first hiring freeze is always the lower levels. But also, lots of recruiters ghost. And sometimes they’ll pop up again even years later, when they have an opening for your role.

Could be many reasons but I also might think it’s either cyclical and hiring is slowing for those recruiters or maybe they’ve submitted you and didn’t get good responses. Keep trying and finding new people and places to contact, it sucks but if you keep at it you will find somewhere

My SO adds very little to our relationship. She has a dead end job. I cook. I work. I oversee finances. I plan trips. She doesn’t have a voice in the relationship. I’ve asked her to give her perspective but she always defaults to mine bc she thinks I’m smarter/worldly. She feels intimated by me and my social circle. Lately, I’ve found myself thinking for her. Anticipating her wants and needs and then adjusting my behavior to meet them. Which she appreciates but it’s frustrating 29M 27F

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
