Tough to say. That is quite a ways away from now. Generally engineering jobs are stable but inflation is up, hiring is down, and there is no way to predict what the administration will do next.

Not to get political but have you seen the jobs report over the last few months? That is what you are in for. Also folks that got RIF'd are having a hard time finding jobs

A bunch of younger engineers I know are having challenges if they are picky. A few firms I talk to haven't circled the wagons on hiring, but are trying to figure out how tariffs will affect their materials costs, where they can deploy their products, and how the market will support their business if their clients can't / won't make capital investments. First roles behind delayed/cut right now are surprisingly first-year / early-career.

I just left a very toxic work place.
The crazy thing is they were just named the best local municipality to work for. It's upsetting. They advertise a "culture" but don'tapply it. It felt like a used car sales pitch, I was sold a dream but given junk. I am constantly replaying moments. I have read so many books and everything leads to they were the problem. How do I recover from this?

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
