I'm curious how people who were laid off are doing with their job search. Is the market brutal or are you finding opportunities? Would love to hear from anyone still checking in.

I am trying to decide between a couple opportunities.
As far as I can tell, Taco Bell has the better medical benefits, but Panda Express has a higher wage and I would use the employee discount benefit more there.
Going on 10 months now. A few interviews and many automated rejections. Doing some AI (ironic......) contract work that pays well but the work is sporadic and doesn't pay the bills. I'm in my late 50s now so I am sure there is age discrimination going on too. One kid just started college and another starting in 1 year. It's not fun. Not sure how this will end up. Just gonna keep trying.
There are Lots of job opportunities to chose from, BUT location, salary and expect to be in office five Days a week demands Flexibility depending on how badly you need to work to pay monthly never ending bills. Key: Adaptability, Flexibility, Good sense of Humor, Demeanor and much more
@a1 This is the way! Don't apply to every job out there, use a good recruiter.
9 months off for me, only "offers" I'm getting are scams. I'm not young so trying to hide my age.
Took me 5 months to land a new job. Same pay, no stock but oh well. I am late 50s.
@a6 My advice is to find a local one to your city and push for a phone call. Make sure the LI profile is years old too.
But be careful! LI is flooded with AI recruiters. It is impossible to tell the real from the fake.
The most effective route is partnering with a recruiter. Since the job market shifts from place to place, your odds can vary a lot!!! Being in India can be tough, while most locations across Europe are generally more favorable. My recommendation: choose a recruiter who will help you refine and strengthen your CV, then build from there.
