Yes, I have noticed that there is a lot of competition out there! I’ve been out of a job since November as the salaries are too low for me to live on. I even put that i will relocate! Nothing so far! I feel your pain! Keep going and pushing and you will find something.

Everyone is in a similar boat. The job market is flooded with applicants doing the exact same thing.

My company blames my generation for not being able to hire everyday. “You guys don’t want to work” coming from some overweight, racist, old coaster. I’ve barely taken any days off this year and pick up “skeleton crew” days any chance I get. I was able to work out a deal with my company before I came because of prior experience luckily, but they offer a terrible base salary and sham of a commission structure to new hires + no remote. Then sit here and can’t figure out why…
