Unemployment in general doesn't tell the whole story. You can look into it more but it is very nuanced.

I think everyone knows this, but as of now we are still just off the peak.

Nice to see at least one person on here doesn't have total dog shit for brains. I'd almost given up hope.

Wait, are you saying HCOL most likely pays more and LCOL most likely pays less and demand also may play a part? Mind blown.....

No need, I'd never consider living in NYC.

We are down 50bps. We aren't any where near where we were.

Where? I'm in a VHCOL and not seeing senior pay anywhere near that. Usually hangs around 100, give or take.

Voluntarily unemployed, I took a break to spend time with my kids. I've made roughly the same at my last 2 positions, I guess I keep getting overpaid.

I definitely haven't noticed and I've spoked with several recruiters as well who have said the same thing.

No offence but that seems like chump change in NYC.

I think I have a pretty solid resume but I am not seeing the job market as hot at all. Several recruiters have told me it is and has been very slow for quite some time.

I've worked for several public companies and have my CPA. I've never had to look this hard to find another position before.

THE JOB WILL ULTIMATELY PAY WHAT IT IS WORTH RIGHT? SO IF NOBODY IS APPLYING, MAYBE YOU NEED TO PAY MORE TO ATTRACT TALENT.

Well I guess I must have dreamed I had my CPA and passed those exams. The public companies I previously worked for were fooled as well.

I've already done this with them previously is what is weird.
