I've been job hunting for about 6 weeks now, and I'm putting in maybe 10 applications a day across Indeed, LinkedIn, and company sites. But I'm barely hearing back from anyone. Is it just me or is the market really this tough right now? How many applications are you all sending out every day, and how is it working for you?

From everything I've been hearing, the job market has slowed down dramatically or just stopped altogether. It seems like companies are just slow walking things while they try to get a reliable read on what's happening with the economy. You would assume that things would have revived after Labor Day, but that doesn't seem to have happened. I'd been looking for a job pretty actively and just scaled back as the timing seems off.

I’ve been applying for about 2 months too, and I’d say I’m sending 6 to 8 daily. I’ve noticed company sites are slower to respond than LinkedIn, but overall, it feels like a really tough market.

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school.

I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!

Is it too late in our lives to jump into a mortgage?

So my fiancée and I are relatively late in terms of finally landing well paying jobs and being able to save money instead of living paycheck to paycheck. We’re both 36 and currently rent a 2 bedroom in NY and have a combined savings of $35,000 which she wants to use as a down payment on a condo. I kinda just wanna continue saving while renting. I also literally just started contributing to my 401K so I’m also late in the game for that too.
