What changed in the job market?

2 years ago I had to do a really sudden career change into the paralegal industry and I got a paralegal job rather quickly, with ZERO experience.

Now I have to look for a job again and.. nothing, nothing at all, despite having more experience now. Has the market changed? Will I ever be able to find a job now?!

I recently sign a lease. The apartment will put my security deposit into an interest-bearing account and requires me to fill out a form W9. I will join EY this June and just wondering if this is ok in terms of the independence rule. I guess the apartment will put my deposit in some sort of funds. Anyone with EY has experience? Reading the independence brochure, looks like it does not specify something related to this scenario but just wanted to confirm . TIA!

Currently a paralegal at a small start up financial services company been there for just a little over a year. I wear “multiple hats” but more recently I’ve done a lot of PM work and some BA work.
