Community sidebar says this is only for Canada, but since I’m seeing some USA comments, I’ll throe mine in.

In the New England region, and was laid off with a bunch of others in February. It’s a dead zone out there. I’m Senior software engineer, but just put out the word to my head hunters that I will take entry level contracts.

I’m going to have to find some work in some other career path, or I will start draining my retirement just to make rent. I can’t even move to a cheeper town since I need income for anyone to be willing to lease me an apartment.

There is a glimmer of hope though, since I’m setting more activity and I do have an interview coming up. The last four or five I’ve had since February ended up with me being ghosted, so I have to assume interviews won’t get me anywhere.

The worst part is knowing that most of the jobs listed don’t really exist. They are just farming resumes. Several positions from march are still up in the form of reposts.
