for more thoughts here as someone who recruits in this space daily

1. @annetgriffin and i called it on our stream that pm roles are going to be v hot. this checks out with data

2. i’ve seen this as well if you can move you need to move to cities. i think in person is back for a while.

3. been saying this in conference talks lately non tech industry jobs are where it’s at

4. i think we are getting close to not being hire able bc you don’t have ai experience

[taylor desseyn @tdesseyn]

@Rodairos you too!!!

[taylor desseyn @tdesseyn]

literally what i have been saying as well.

[Richard @Rodairos]

STOP applying.

I keep getting asked by candidates what they need to do to stand out. That IS the only answer.

For most people, the hardest part is getting your foot in the door of the interview process. Every time I post a job, I get hundreds of applications overnight, thousands in a week in some cases. And it's frustrating that most of them are fake or scammers.

As an active talent in the market, your best bet is cold DMing the recruiter or hiring manager, getting a warm referral, or finding some kind of side door connection.

If I had to choose between applying to 100 jobs a week or sending 25 targeted, custom DMs, I'm picking the latter every time.
