I am an offer incoming after a drug screen and background check.Do you have a job now? Do you genuinely think you won't have it in the next 6 months?
I might have two more next week. I have been going to back to back interviews and have been applying to most.
I just don't tell this stuff on the forum.
This thread was about the longevity of this market.
A coworker and I have been laid off for about 3 months now. I have been more aggressive on the applying side than he. Since my layoff on the 14th of July, I don't just sit and wait.
It's understanding the industry, what's going on, and know where I need to make pivots/make decisions accordingly for my life.
I also finished an IT contract not to long ago. Learned about it from Andy and a guy who gave me a book, pretty solid work. I actually loved it. Even wowed the guy in charge
I also signed an offer for Amazon as an Delivery Driver making $18.50 and have been testing the waters with Lyft. 1 hour and 15 minutes gives you about 22 dollars an hour with instant debt payouts.
I'm positive I'll get a job within the field, but this career track is over. I've seen people who have been laid off for more than 6 months and that's also when unemployment ends.
Look on YouTube, or Google News. The articles and videos about layoffs don't show any signs of stopping.
So people getting into IT at the moment will have a much harder time to get any position.
I predict this market won't stable until another few years.
It's about knowing what direction I should head, the actions I need to take to course correct so that this doesn't happen again and I won't be in such a situation.
Jobs will always be needed, but it'd about my financial plan proceeding forward.
One person, one decision, one call, and your income is gone.
To get to an exit you need to invest 6 to 10 years of your life. I'm not sure most people understand this, this is a question everyone of us will have to answer to see if we are willing.
