I'm an Associate Product Manager with ~5 years of experience including internships, solid background in business/CS, doing my Masters in CS. Been a Data Analyst/BA too. Got married ~3 months ago and moved to Vancouver for my wife's job. My company's letting me go since they don't do remote work anymore.
I've been applying to roles in Vancouver and hit a solid wall. Dozens of applications and not a single interview. Never happened before.
Anyone have any idea why? Would love a referral/advice.

Economy is doo doo and Vancouver isn’t great for well paying jobs unfortunately. We’re losing the corporate presence that brings these types of roles here.

Wish I had better feedback for you than “just hang in there”. It’s super tough out there right now. For what it’s worth, you seem very qualified and I’m confident you’ll get something eventually.

I’d recommend connecting in person for coffees and networking. I’m also from out east and I find the local business environment to be very relationship driven.

I have a looming sense of self hatred. I take medication I workout and do all the things to feel good, but it’s just stuck there.

This is a privileged problem and I know it’s minuscule to compared to the actual struggles of so many people in the US and abroad. Just wondering if anyone has felt this as well and if so, how do you get rid of that self hatred?

Hi does anyone work at EY in BC? Willing to chat about what it’s like if I applied from the US?

Living in Van. Previously lived in Toronto. Obviously rent prices are high as is cost of living. Generally go out and spend more often living in a city. Boyfriend and I on good salary but not saving much due to the above. Before we move home to our own country, we’d love to spend a year close to Vancouver where rent is cheaper, temptation is less, to save. A commute to Vancouver 1-2 times a month needs to be possible (his job). That can be a flight if it’s not crazy. Thoughts? Recommendations?
