Is the job market completely broken right now? I was recently laid off after 10 years, and I’ve applied to about 300 jobs on LinkedIn. I’m applying for perfect fits and even roles I'm overqualified for, but I haven't gotten a single callback. Just instant, automated rejections within an hour. Ten years ago, 25 apps got you a phone screen. What changed?

Over 90% of companies are using AI to review resumes so most of us are getting rejected without an actual human ever laying eyes on it

Fewer jobs. More of us looking. Lots of reasons

Oh so many reasons as well. How are you getting by ?

Fewer jobs due to AI and cost cutting due to the bad economy environment. These days, if you get work, your pay will be 25% lower than what it was in your last role. This is why, I am also focusing on building more than one stream of income. It’s needed now.

Never seen it this bad. Anyone have any hope when this may get better or do you think it’ll get worse?

This might be a stretch but if you have a finance background and you’re great with client relationships, have you considering joining the Wealth management space?

We strangely have a shortage of Financial advisors, TD , Wells, and even Chase have several positions opened

I just re-entered after being self-employed, 3 years ago. 3 years ago it was a mess, and it's only gotten worse. It's a living nightmare. Fortunately, I am getting interviews, but I'm looking at half the pay and what many companies put you through to get the job makes me feel like they're intentionally trying to wear you down. It's the oddest environment.

It used to be when you applied for a job you were treated respectfully and of course you treated them respectfully, and a decision was made yes or no. Now it's five rounds with many people who seem very disengaged and then you may or may not hear back. I can't wait for the market to turn. Hoping the best for all of us🙏🏻

Just became an ACD. Im in a limbo. Half of the time im being treated as a Super Senior AD and the other half im being treated as a Almost CD. Then when im scoped over work that my CD and I oversee, some people are asking me how does my role differ from the CD’s, as they tend to look at me as an unnecessary layer for approvals. In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve

I’ve been working for a small investment firm for about a year and am having some issues with my boss. We have a weekly check-in but he’s ALWAYS 2-3 hours late, or skips the meeting altogether without warning. He also never replies to any of the emails I send. I already spoke with him about these issues, but things haven’t really changed. I really like the work I do but I’m starting to feel frustrated about the situation. Any advice? Or anyone else in a similar situation?
