    Seems like if I want to get a full-time job now, I need to significantly reduce my salary expectations. One job I just interviewed for offered almost 50% less then what I made before lol. I understand that the market and budgets are fucked, but geez.

    • Take the job and keep sending job applications out. If you are in full time employment you are in a stronger negotiation position.Nutter
