Subject: Easier to find a job when you are employed
At least you have more free time to apply for jobs and interview when unemployed.

+1
same as the "current salary" and references questions. Pile of archaic stupidity.

I am 47 and this really proved to me that it's easier to find a job if you are currently employed.
What is this the case? One of the reasons I did this soft search is to see what kind of challenges I will be facing at my age.
Are you male? I'm surprised you received so many interviews at 47.
I love how the threshold for ageism continually drops on this board.

Tell me about it..Soon 29 nope you are too old to drive a bus.
AI will be driving the bus so no need for you at any age.

47 is a child. Do you still live at home? Even 50 is super young. At 55 I had my first experience with a horrific job search that did resulted in a great job but that ended at 58 which was even harder to find a job. The last search at 61 was a bear. I was losing out to young people from 45-55.

I took six months off to travel, and after that, I received three different job offers for the same salary/bonus. It depends on your skills and what you bring to the table. I work in AI space.
Well, yeah AI.

I know. I've seen the exact same bizarre comments.
