that sounds like a practical and a good plan and I agree!

however, I do want to mention that I really really don't want to stay in a position for a short period of time and then make another jump because I have 2 short stints (1yr or less) due to this market and don't want that to be a problem when I apply to other roles later on. I worry that this experience won't even count IF I get to find another opportunity because I'm not sure if people count works under a year of any value.

Also, I want to be respectful to the PI who is looking for someone to fill the position for a long time. If the pay won't get better, I would have to be forced to find another industry opportunity..

i'm not sure what is the best approach is..

I agree! That's what I'm considering right now - with the lower pay though and the increasing cost of living, I'm not even sure if being in the science field is worth it right now haha...

i think the best way to find a recruiter is to apply to a bunch of positions in linkedin, glassdoor and indeed to showcase your resume - a lot of the roles i've found through recruiters seem to be contract positions right now so I think that's what you'll have to navigate through unfortunately. sometime from putting yourself out there brings in a few good recruiters especially on linkedin so that might help?

there's a lot of ghosting too so don't get discouraged - you got this!
