    I think I’m good as far as job security goes, so that’s a plus. I should ramp up the job hunt I suppose. Already trying to study for the CISSP after work though and I am a big fan of having down time to unwind.

      On one hand, the market is such that it might be too much work / too depressing to passively hunt for a plan B. On the other, it’s probably good to have an idea of what a plan B could be…

        Is the market actually bad at the moment, though? We’ve been trying to fill one of the vacant positions on my team, and the offers we’ve extended have been declined for other options. That makes it seem to me like candidates have plenty of options at the moment.

          I haven’t been looking so I can’t speak with first-hand xp. From others accounts on socials it seems like it’s kinda rough but everyone has different experiences. Good to hear some potentially optimistic news for a change though so I’ll take it.
