The job market feels very different from a few years ago. From what I have observed, ancillary and support focused roles seem to have been impacted more heavily, while strong engineering positions still exist for candidates with the right skills and experience. The challenge is that competition remains high, remote opportunities are fewer, and compensation expectations have shifted in some areas. How has the current market changed your approach to job hunting?

Tons of layoffs and restructuring means that more people are trying to land fewer jobs. The only strategy os to apply to everything that makes sense given your background, and heavily lean into your network.

I’ve definitely needed to be more strategic and gamify it than ever before. It’s not just “apply apply apply” anymore

I couldn’t agree more, it does seem that the market and current environment over last couple of years have made a fundamental change in how the hiring process works versus the past. Previously, it was simple networking and a lunch meet or two. Now, it does not seem that employers are that interested at all and you are competing with a much larger number of candidates…best of luck to you…
