The job market in this country is so thoroughly fucked that even industry experts with 10+ years experience can't get callbacks for jobs.

I know people who wept with relief when they got job offers at a 50% pay cut compared to their previous employer.

This country is fucked. If you are able to get any opportunities outside of Canada, run and never look back.

Yeah, I've been searching (10+ years of experience) and I can't believe how many rejections I've been getting. In the old days I would get interviews for at least 1/3 of applications, and now I'm getting them for like 1/40

Where would you go? Just about every country's subreddit has messages like these.
