As a background, I have a top 30 undergrad degree (double major) and a M7 MBA degree (double major) with experience at three Fortune 500 companies.

My tech company did layoffs months ago.

I have sent out 1,000 applications and have had ~20 interviews, with 10 ending in final rounds—EVERY SINGLE ONE has gone with an internal candidate instead.

The job market doesn’t just feel 2x or 10x harder than it used to—it feels 100x harder than it used to. Legitimately impossible.

The most insane part about it all? You walk outside and everything seems normal—restaurants full, news stations never talking about it, and the current administration praising the prosperity right now.

If Americans are only one paycheck away from financial disaster, how aren’t more homes being foreclosed on? How aren’t more cars being repossessed????

WHAT IS HAPPENING!?!?
