Looking for commiseration. This job market is so tough. I'm employed but have been actively looking to leave my dysfunctional job for about 9 months, and I don't know how long I can be last before quitting with nothing lined up. Weirdly, I got a flurry of screener interviews a couple months ago and also went far in the process for a job that had lots of red flags before I removed myself from the running. I thought then that the market was improving, but I've gotten no more interviews!

Generally curious how many companies offer phone reimbursement? My last gig did not but the current one does.
