One a scale of 1 to 10, how tough is the job market right now?

I’ve reached my breaking point with a self righteous and callous supervisor. My client changes their mind so often, they ask almost monthly to change direction no matter how well things are going. After years of grin and bearing it, I need to find a new role.

It's bad, don't quit until you have something lined up. Best of luck!

I think it’s pretty bad unfortunately :( definitely start networking and applying. Sounds like you have tried your best but time to move on.

On a scale of 1-10, with 10 being terrible, it’s about a 16. It’s brutal.

Not 16. I would say more like 54. But seriously, so not quit before you find something. I mean, by all means apply and interview and take your time to find the right fit.

Worst it’s been since the Great Recession
