My New Year’s resolution? Stop applying to jobs I don’t actually want, just because they’re available. I spent way too much time this year chasing roles that sounded good on paper but made me dread the idea of getting an offer. This time around, I’m aiming for clarity over quantity. What’s your career resolution for 2026 and how do you plan to stick to it?

My salary has been close to stagnant for a couple of years. I have been holding off on job hunting, because who wants to be willing job hunting in a job market that is this trash? However, I can't hold off much longer. My goal for this year is to change jobs for a salary bump.

That’s a great one!
