The job market is really rough right now. As someone who was cold applying for “fun” to see what’s out there back in 2022/2023 and landing multiple offers to now not even receiving 1st round interviews, it is extremely frustrating and crushing

2022/2023 was an anomaly and also bad. People celebrated the “great resignation “ but it was just the ride to the top of rollercoaster , that only drops.

One of the reasons for why today’s market exists is because nonsensical hiring during that period.

You want a sustainable job market , not 2022/23. That was between 2010-2020- recovery from the collapse plus hiring based on business case

Unfortunately, with AI capital investment, hiring will continue to suck. Your best bet is via network and trying to ride the train

Maybe work on your fine tuning your resume. I found Ranstand RiseSmart to be helpful with consolidating mine into a neat 1-pager. I was finding some pretty good success by cold calling back in the winter.

Best of luck

Are you looking because you have no job or looking because you hate your job and want a different one?

Same, but feel trapped because I’m not getting any luck out there

Leaving soon for brand management role in CPG which I’m really excited about but curious if this will close the door to opportunities (product marketing, non technical product manager) in tech in the future. Really interested in the brand management role but if I end up not liking it the comp trajectory is not nearly as good as tech and wanted to know if that door will still be open. 2YOE, if I make a switch would likely be at 4-5YOE assuming I don’t go MBA route

MBB or FAANG (Ops role)? Similar comp structure

I've become really jaded about consulting. I find all so often you need to tell the client what they want to hear to keep their business and I feel like so much of the what I recommend doesn't actually get implemented. I'm looking to make a career switch so I can both create and execute on my strategies. A product management path seems very promising for this.

Does anyone who switched from consulting to product management have any recommendations of h helpful PM books, courses, or programs?
