I've been applying for 3 weeks with what little spare time I have at work. Probably applied to like 40 or so jobs so far. 5 rejections, 0 interview offers.

I have 10+ years experience in the jobs I'm applying for. I've applied to jobs at lower levels of salaries $100k+ lower than I make as well as at jobs at my level or slightly above.

I've had my resume checked by 3 different friends who are recruiters and they say it looks great.

This market is relentless. I'm fucking dying. I guess I should be thankful I have a job but I HATE my job and wake up every day feeling stuck.

Anyone else going through something similar?

I'm not larping I've been applying for director of marketing type roles and roles in project management. I have a solid track record and sustained success over the past decade working with high profile companies and people.
The latest trending is trying to hire people that are full stack marketers for like 50k a year, despite being able to execute every step of a campaign etc. It's retarded

How much do you make now, doing what? If it's a well-paid niche do your recruiter friends know how that niche works?

>>54643370
I make around $200k, it's a good salary for my position and I wouldn't expect to make much more, but the fact that I am applying to roles as low as $70k and not getting hits is mind boggling to me. I would steamroll those jobs, I could do them in my sleep.

>>54643409
indeed

>>54643442
I'm kind of ok with this, I use GPT4 a lot at work now honestly. It allows me to be way more efficient, and has replaced my need for other personnel, but I make my company hire them anyway because I hate my fucking company.

>>54643458
I don't think you read it right. I am applying to jobs which pay $100k LESS than what I make now, which is $200k.

>>54643517
I've done plenty of project management and honestly you are very wrong. They are babysitting jobs bc 90% of workers are unorganized and incompetent, and require a babysitter to keep them actually doing their job properly. Marketing it depends on the company/industry how bullshit or not that is. Some companies are 100% marketing.

Most people just don't understand that we don't need Terminator Humanoid to replace most of the jobs, specially the knowledge based desk jobs, AI isn't even related to Technology, it's a subject in philosophy. Machine Learning (& Deep Learning) doesn't produce "Intelligence", it produces extremely good robots.
Turns out most jobs are robotic too, specially the office based ones, GPT-4 and Apps based on it will easily replace most clerks across the service sectors, this includes accountants, paralegals and bottom tier programmers for example, we are infact already seeing creative workers like logo designers and illustrators become obsolete, their role has been reduced to how well can they describe their "Art" in a prompt.
I hope you guys understand we have already replaced the sub 90 IQ people completely, they are no longer needed in any knowledge based job, so negros will have to return to hard labour.
Next 2-3 years will bring Industrial Revolution tier change in work.

I'm about 3 months in myself and yeah its fucking brutal. Last summer I was getting interview offers left and right without so much as applying but now...fucking awful.

Fuck the corpos who fired me and sent me to this hell and fuck HR roasties who can't even email back a simple rejection email.


>t. in marketing and I'm honestly losing my mind here.

Hell, at this point i'd take a substantial pay cut and even go back to the office if it meant I had cash flowing in and not tearing my savings apart just to stay afloat.

I don't get this bs boomer nonsense of people "not wanting to work" Just like a lot of anons here I've sent countless applications and don't even get the courtesy of a rejection email.

Covid didn't do enough...
