- treat early career moves like gigs you dont know how a show will go but you learn by talking to people and showing up
- when recruiter outreach dries up or picks back up thats a real signal for gauging how the job market is shifting
- layoffs hit mostly giant tech companies and unprofitable venture backed startups while smaller sustainable companies kept hiring quietly
- if youre early career expect to take opportunities that pop up instead of being picky since experience is what lets you get systematic later
- know your specific reason for leaving a role before you jump so you dont make a move without a clear why
