Landed a role after 4 months of searching — a few things that helped

Wanted to post this for anyone in month 2 or 3 feeling like it’s not moving: it took me four months and a lot of quiet weeks. What actually moved things forward, in the end, was two people from my old team introducing me to their current companies — not any cold application. Keep at it.

Congratulations — and this is a good reminder that referrals came through people, not applications. Did you reach back out to your old team yourself, or did they come to you?

Congratulations! Four months in myself right now and this is a good reminder to lean on people I already know instead of only cold-applying.
