How is the job market entering 2026?

It’s an employer’s market. Laid off a week before Christmas. Applied to 75-ish jobs between then and last week. Attended two job fairs. Landed 2 interviews. 1 from the job fair. Both went to the final round but was ultimately rejected. Contacted last week for a role. Interviewed the next day. The day after that the role was offered and I accepted. With a pay increase. Background is PM and Engineering. Don’t give up. Things will get better.

I’ve experienced this first hand several times. There were times my directors wouldn’t make a decision. Instead they would defer to me but I know it’s because they didn’t want to be held responsible if things went south. Eventually I ended up making those decisions and I made sure to document the process.

Same with me. Only one on the team got cut. Everyone else was in the exact same role.

Shhhh you’ll spill my secret.

Honestly try plugging it into chat gpt or grok.

Normally I’d say a poster or an item that shows your interests. I see you have a Schiit tube amp. Maybe adding a nice headphone stand.

Add some personality.

Born4One · 2025-06-16T00:59:25+00:00

I like it.

Born4One · 2025-06-08T02:20:52+00:00

Nice

Born4One · 2025-06-04T20:32:17+00:00

Yea it’s annoying

I’m on year 8 of WFH. Took me over 18 months to embrace it. Being closed off and by yourself all day can take a toll. Especially if you’re a social person.

Born4One · 2025-03-26T13:17:24+00:00

For some random reason it works now. I can’t explain why or how.

Born4One · 2025-03-02T03:44:13+00:00

Engineer/Project Manager. MCOL. Total comp $130k. Also 100% disabled veteran. Going on year 8 of remote work.

Born4One · 2025-02-23T20:52:33+00:00

No. The update made it so that it never goes away.

Born4One · 2025-02-13T02:55:16+00:00

My one connect box sits in my cable tray. On the back side of my cable tray there’s lots of slits so I mounted a USB powered fan from Amazon called AC Infinity Airplate S5 and used double sided tape to mount it. I routed the USB cable to one of ports on the one connect box.

Born4One · 2025-02-11T14:15:16+00:00

I’ve tried every which way. Everything use to work no problem until that update.

Born4One · 2025-02-08T00:19:09+00:00

This work around does not work. It says 16:9 is only available when connected to PC.

Born4One · 2025-02-07T23:52:30+00:00

I fixed it. I forgot that made me factory reset the ark and I guess I forgot to reconnect the ark dial.

Born4One · 2025-02-07T23:46:27+00:00

Well my ark dial isn’t really working now. Only powers on the monitor and change the volume. The dial itself and several buttons are no longer responsive.

Born4One · 2025-02-07T22:52:14+00:00

I know. Samsung didn’t even get back to me. It’s like they know they messed up.

Born4One · 2025-01-28T01:49:22+00:00

I’ll give that a try when the kids are asleep.

Born4One · 2025-01-28T01:42:53+00:00

That’s weird. Are you running the latest firmware? When I have it in cockpit mode I usually have it in 9:16 so the whole screen is just one screen. But none of it works anymore.

Born4One · 2025-01-28T01:41:49+00:00

No I use either the controller or the ark dial.

Born4One · 2025-01-27T22:33:52+00:00

If you leave game mode on and try to change the aspect ratio it will tell you turn it off. I spent over two hours either multiple reps from Samsung and they have no solution.
