Saw this post today & although i appreciate the guys' perseverance, is it really worth it to spend THIS long for another job? I mean i am unemployed for 7 months now & I'm thinking about expanding my search for similar opportunities(PMM, DA, BA).
Does this mean something is wrong with his approach or his skillsets aren't good enough?
The wait should depend on the stage of your career and your financial condition.
In early stage of the career, waiting long doesn't make sense. Go for BA, PA, DA, PMM, you can still pivot later to your career preference. You also get to learn diverse hard skills and work towards different metrics. Also, each month of experience is valuable then (For 3YOE, a 6m wait is loss of a sixth of his experience)
This changes as your career progress. At 10YoE, most roles will have more managerial tasks, hard skills don't define success a lot, and hopefully are resilient financially. So a 1Y break would not set you back as much then.
However, a break might wear you down with anxiety if your work is major part of your identity, so plan for that.
PS: Had been on a 20 month break total in past 3y

Hello everyone,
I've been actively job hunting for some time now, but I haven't received a single call in the last four months. It's starting to make me feel quite worthless.
How do you handle this kind of situation?
I want to quit my job and take a break.
I Have been contemplating to do the same for almost an year but decided not to do it. So many things have happened since then
4-5 months runway isn’t at all enough.
Not to scare you but it's fucked up. One of my friends is applying via referrals but rarely any calls
Hey, my 2 rupees: 1. If you are quitting, quit for the right reasons. Ask yourself if you feel you are running away...
