I'm stuck in a miserable team and every day is a struggle. Bills keep me at SAS but I'm desperately looking. Been grinding on LinkedIn, company career pages, reworking my resume for hours on end. Still nothing but rejections. What platforms are actually working for people? I'm exhausted.

This somewhat hopeful report suggests that we are in a transition period: employers will hire more once they figure out the impact of AI.
"A possible answer to this conundrum lies in the confluence of two forces currently affecting the high tech sector and likely to affect other sectors in the future: staff reductions during transition and staff strengthening once AI has been integrated into production processes.
On the staff reduction side, tech firms over hired during the pandemic, and staffing levels in the United States and around the world rose higher than pre-pandemic levels. Corrections have been underway since 2022... the layoffs began for financial reasons...
A possible beginning of this strengthening of staffing through AI can be seen in the right-most portions of the graphic on the computer sector. The losses are slowing and turning to small gains."

The usefulness of LinkedIn has really dropped in my opinion. It's become a place for posing, postering, and kissing a*s more than anything else.
You’re not alone. Friends have been looking for more than a year.
