Is the current dip in open jobs changing your exit strategy right now? I'm still looking, but I'm definitely prepared to be in my current position a little longer than I had initially hoped.

Honestly, it's making me more aggressive. Less competition means I can potentially stand out more. I'm doubling down on my job search efforts and seeing this as a chance to snag a role I might not have gotten in a hotter market.

ive gotten 6 offers in the past 4 weeks. plenty of jobs, too easy.

The dip is making me reassess, but I'm not hitting pause. I'm still actively networking and applying, just with slightly adjusted expectations on timeline. It's a good reminder that the market can shift quickly.

I'm an introverted person, like to keep to myself, focus on work, spend the rest of my time on family, gym etc. I've been told that I need to work on my communication and client relationship building skills. any books I can read? I don't follow pop. culture anymore, no longer actively follow team sports (but sporty myself) as I consider it bread and circus for the masses and don't rly enjoy work drinks... Am I doomed? Personally I am happy and love the work but fear for my career progression.
