I always casually apply to keep things in motion, get some practice interviewing, and learn what other roles are paying.

If I’m not interesting I’ll usually just thank the recruiter and ask to stay in touch for future roles. I’ve actually had a few follow up with me months later for roles.

The hiring slowdown hasn’t changed my approach, just means that if I do want to apply seriously or am worried about losing my job, I’ll need another month or two of applying/interviewing before I land a replacement.

You should always be looking for next role the moment you signed the offer letter. I was expecting the employers to give me what I deserved, and my career/salary were stalling for first 6 years, and then I learned to be aggressive, and had two title jumps and 2x my salary in last two years. There are risks if you make the move but there are risks if you stay.

I have never gone to the gym or really worked out, and want to make a change in my life to start exercising. I'm not sure how to handle post-workout showering though.

First time growing out hair and it's coarse/wavy/dry so it takes days for oils to distribute (so oily scalp) due to pushing off washing -- when I do wash, I shampoo only the scalp and will conditioner the rest of my hair. I'm afraid of overwashing, but if I don't wash my hair after I sweat, it will frizz and poof up. Any advice?
