Is the market turning around or am I just experiencing the jobs-are-like-buses phenomenon?

I've been applying for jobs for what feels like forever with no bites, and suddenly I have 3 second interviews over the next couple of weeks plus 2 interviews for higher-level internal roles. This should feel good but instead I'm feeling paranoid and nervous :/

Definitely seeing a LOT more activity - consulting firms seem to be all hiring and lots more interesting industry roles popping up. Wouldn’t say we’re totally out of the woods, but certainly promising…

We are back hiring, and most importantly in good quality teams in S&/Deals.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Just realized I hadn’t had an in-person interview since 2019. I’ve done multiple zoom interviews and was onboarded remote in 2020. About to see a real person today! Wish me luck.

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?
