When do you think the job market will flip back to actually hiring? Thoughts on how AI will impact those in our field? Been looking to exit to industry for a compliance sr. manager/manager equivalent role where comp is on par and haven’t gained any traction.

I really hope that it gets better soon. I have been trying to find a new role for the past eight months because the company I am at is VERY toxic. It doesn't seem to be getting any better, though. I think layoffs are going to continue as a result of AI.

I think it's perseverance. I've applied to over 200 job postings and only had a handful of call backs. Anything that looks like what you're looking for, you should apply. I've spoken to recruiters and they've told me that companies are having a hard time parsing through resumes because it's so easy to click a button to apply. You can't count on applying to ten positions and getting a call back anymore.

Additional note, larger companies typically hire much slower too - usually a 6 week or more timeline. I've taken the extra effort to also find who a recruiter is for the companies and send a note. Not foolproof but it's something extra.

Do companies sometimes offer "gifts of appreciation" if you're not selected for a merit increase? My manager randomly called me to let me know I was chosen for the "gift" this year bc of my "hard work & dedication", except now I'm learning other colleagues are receiving actual merits.
I mean it's possible that I may receive a merit, but I feel like I won't considering my manager never brought it up & the dept update made it sound like those receiving it should know by now.
