Well this is all still pretty tulip.
I've been searching for 3 months, I've had a few leads, a few interviews but nothing yet. I have even been having a few calls on the burner (but nowhere near enough!).
War chest is OK, so I'm not in dire straits yet, but still getting annoyed with it all but know I have to keep on with the job search.
But it occurs to me that July and particularly Aug are probably going to be a dead loss, since business is usually dead anyway! Isn't the normal year business bounce in Sep?
Anyone any (hopefully a little upbeat) theories about the short term? I guess once inflation actually starts to drop (supposed to be by the year-end) the interest rate increases should stop (even though there is supposed to be a monetary lag). So maybe business confidence and stocks might be up in the autumn if they are forward-looking.
Half wondering about scaling down the job search over Jul, Aug and heading off to hotter climes.Comment

But I'll definitely a take a decent headset and maybe a polo shirt when I'm on my holibobs and check the jobsites less frequently.Comment

There is no point earning 110k in the uk if you can barely raise your children, it is just indentured servitude with few extra steps.
this guy gets it.Last edited by GigiBronz; 13 June 2023, 22:22.Comment
