Is this job market going to get any better? I’ve applied for over 110 jobs these last two months and have barely gotten anything… resume has gotten approvals from a range of people

Depends I think. For regular consulting, no. I think clients are getting exhausted with bs and the golden era of high rate consulting is likely dying (I think the John Oliver special is a side effect of the exasperation companies have with high price/low impact strategy consultants).

For data consulting - will keep growing. For tech consulting, especially sap, will keep growing.

What is sap?

Job market is absolutely terrible for us right now. Application ratios of >1E4:1 are the norm.

Talent acquisition is impossibility antiquated. Candidates must be perfect. It’s absurd.

We’re all one small disaster from financial ruin.

There is glut in the data space. Lots of organizations realizing they need to dail back on the AI/ML hype. Most of the data functions are nice-to-have anyway.

Slow your roll.... stop blasting off your applications rapid fire. If nothing is hitting, slow down and review your process and approach. There are all types of scraping tools... if you act like a bot you may get algorthrymically eliminated.

Pause everything. Create a fresh email just for applications. Tune up your resume and practice interviewing. With percision apply to the jobs you actually want or are qualified for. Yes aim high at some reach jobs as well but quality over quantity.

If you still don't get hits look at other industries. Some of the happiest people I know fell into their careers by happen-stance.

Look for inspiration. You might come up with a brilliant idea to start your own thing. Stay positive and good luck!
