Looking for a new job in this market: the good, the bad and the ugly

Published on 2024-02-29 by Paty Cuenca

My experience being on the hunt for a new job in this tough market for candidates is that it mostly sucks. Big time.

On January 31st I found myself unemployed. I would say it was unexpected, and it certainly was a surprise, but I had known for a while that it was coming.

And alas! It finally happened.

Luckily I was able to find a good opportunity in less than a month, and after a few weeks to rest and recharge I will rejoin the workforce ready to kick ass. On a less positive note, I have experienced first-hand how the job market has dramatically changed since the last time I switched jobs. Here are my thoughts.

The good

All folks working in tech know that laying off employees has become a sad

The bad

blablabla

The ugly
