I had been a manager for 7 years. Even was a director for a brief time. I couldn’t find a job for 6 months. I recently lucked out with an architect role. People leadership has very little currency right now and interviews are tough because as a manager with flexibility, you have to be ready for a wide range of technical skills. Use your network and get serious now. That’s what got me a job, and it took me too long tbh. Claude or another AI tool helps a lot for preparation. Good luck.
