That's what I keep hearing ;) But really it only seems that way if you get or have been very lucky.

I think it's very friendly. I don't think I'm lucky though. It only took 7 months of interviews to land a new job.

It's nice to hear that I'm not the only one, but I'm sorry it took so long and congrats on landing one. The way people are talking about it, it would seem like you can just say yes to a recruiter and automatically increase your salary by 50k.

I enjoyed the process though. It's like dating, but as the hot girl. It's a bad place to be in if you urgently need a new job, though.

That's a nice outlook. Maybe I can reframe my perspective and find a way to enjoy it again.
