FWIW it's a very challenging job market right now. It took me 7 months to land a job, and I know other people are struggling even longer than that.

Networking seems to be the only way to get past the HR filters.

Seconding this.

Was out of work for a year. The magic solution was a nepo referral.

I love this world!

We'll see - have a few leads but hoping to close one of them before November since all hiring grinds to a halt until the new year after November.
