So do you all think it’s a good time to find a new job? Or do we think it’s going to get worse out there the next couple months/year?

hiring seems to be picking up. cases are slowly dropping. the vaccines are offering a lot of promise. i think that now is a lot better than any time we’ve seen in the last year

Yeah I feel that. But a bunch of economists are saying that things can get worse before they get better even though the vaccine is rolling out.

Do the likes mean it is a good time?

Personally I liked this cuz I’m in a similar boat and would love an answer

i don't understand the question. agencies seem to be hiring a lot right now, so yeah, that seems like a good time to find a new job.

not sure what you mean by "is it gonna get worse"? hiring right now is good, so by that respect, yeah hiring could get LESS GOOD later in the year because right now in Q1 is when all those budget resets were.

The “could get worse” was more referencing how unstable the economy is right now and some are projecting another dip even though the vaccines are being rolled out. So it’s like, if we were to get hired now at a new, do we run the risk of getting laid off due to another economic downturn. Whereas the agency I’m at now is more stable since I have a reputation there.
