You’re not misreading. It was an attempt at commentary on the current state of the job market, specifically at fintechs. This is not the same job market from even just a couple years ago, at least iny experience of it. I realize two different people within the same subset of the market can have markedly different experiences . But for me, I can’t even get someone to talk to me beyond a couple of recruiter contacts which went nowhere once the hiring manager got involved.
I’m not looking for a better job necessarily, just a different one. I’m in a volatile industry which is beset by a reliance on utilization percentage to justify continued employment. There is a level of constant anxiety to every aspect of the job and it’s driving me slowly insane. Or maybe not slowly.
So are you presently employed but just applying for a better job? Sorry if I’m misreading, pretty hungover and exhausted.
