Is it just me or has the job market gotten weird lately? I’m seeing roles reposted constantly, salary ranges all over the place (when they even share them), and barely any actual response to applications. I’ve been in the field for almost 10 years and never struggled like this before. Has anyone landed something recently, if so what finally came through?

They even have similar postings with minimal tweaked info, different salaries for the same position/job description.
The worst experience this time around for me was the constant lack of support from recruiters, even the ones who reach out to me. A lot of ghosting on that end and wasted time on a few instances as well. Job market has been awful for the last 8 months+, in my experience.

I was applying for months and seeing the same roles recycled, sometimes with new titles or slightly tweaked descriptions. I finally landed something through a former colleague who referred me directly.

Got an offer for SE III at a large tech company. Product I'd be working on interests me and I think I could grow more than in my current role.

Currently I make 180k base and have ISO/RSUs @ startup (60k/yr worth on paper, but won't be worth anything for a few years, if at all).

The offer is:
Base: $166,500
Target Bonus: 10% ($16,650)
RSU: 120k total (30k/yr)

Thoughts on offer? Should I counter?

Additionally there's a yearly target RSU bonus about equal to the cash bonus. Thoughts? 4.5 YOE

Hey! I’m new here and would like some input. I’ve been working in a new position for almost 5 months. In that time I’ve witnessed some unethical and lots of unprofessional behavior.

There are so many major issues in this company that I don’t know if I want to subject my mental health to this degree of toxicity. I just don’t know how to move forward from here.
