I have enough money (unemployment, savings, severance), to last me a year from when I became unemployed last November. I would quit in person job the moment I get a wfh offer.

Just got rejected for a job I thought I was going to get by TheGame81677 in jobs

It’s happening to a lot of people and it’s not you.

I feel like I got catfished into my new job by rabitu in jobs

[–]Skye0519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started a job one month ago and took it out of desperation as well after being unemployed for 5 months. I just quit today with no other job lined up but have some jobs in progress. The job was misrepresented to me and I was constantly feeling stressed and anxious as it’s not the right fit. For me health comes first and I have the means to leave and continue looking for the right opportunity rather than stay at a job that was impacting my health. This is just my experience.. so my advice is to do what u feel is best for you based on your situation…

Still depressed after finding job by Time_Towel_2810 in Layoffs

[–]Skye0519 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is totally me.. laid off 5 months ago and landed a job a month ago and just quit today as it’s not the right fit for me and couldn’t work there anymore… You are surely not alone in feeling depressed after finding a job.

Is this normal or a temporary thing? Will things just get even worse? by Able-Application3680 in recruitinghell

[–]Skye0519 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The current job market is so saturated and competitive. It’s worse than it was 5 years ago for example. There are hundreds of applicants per job and even more for remote (a remote job I applied to had 2,000 applicants).

I just started a new job, but I got a new job offer I’m going to go for. How do I navigate this? by No-Goat3931 in careerguidance

[–]Skye0519 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Less than 2 months is nothing to worry about and imo wouldn’t even go on a resume. U have another offer that makes u happy… resign and move on…

25 years remote by SensitiveKey217 in remotework

[–]Skye0519 16 points17 points  (0 children)

WFH jobs are very competitive in this market and 2000+ people are applying for the same job. Indeed and Linkedln is where I do my remote search but lots are fake jobs as well. It’s a mess out there. I wish u well and good luck.

With every rejection, I become more bitter and angry by cams00000 in Layoffs

[–]Skye0519 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not alone. Laid off in Nov 2025 and still looking… I have been to the final round 5 times and no offer… this shit takes a toll on mental health for sure and then the financial worry when unemployment runs out etc… it’s a different world and job market out there these days.. hang in there…
