After eight months of applying and sporadic interviews, I recently had three interviews in short succession, two resulting in offers. I’m actually in the position now of contacting the third company tomorrow and pulling myself from consideration. Dammit that feels good!

Please keep plodding on folks. I think we’re going to see an increase in hiring soon. Seasonal pressures, the holiday season being over (you’d be shocked how much that slows everything down for months following), and many places closing their Q1 books means active hiring.

This is not the time to give up!
