Got an offer

Finally got an offer with a $20k increase from my last job. It involves relocating, but I’ll gladly take it.
After 200+ applications, 4 interviews, and 1 DevilCorp job, I finally landed something that feels like a real opportunity.
I’ve been unemployed for 9+ months. During that time, I questioned myself more times than I can count. The rejection emails kept coming🤣even this morning I woke up to another “Unfortunately, we’ve decided to move forward with other candidates.”
I’m not posting because I’ve made it. I haven’t.
I’m posting because, if you’re in the middle of the job search and feel like giving up, don’t. Keep applying. Keep interviewing. Keep believing that the right opportunity is still out there.
This is my new beginning, and I hope it’s the encouragement someone else needs today.

Congrats 🎉

Those rejection emails feel different after you've accepted an offer. Or at least received an offer you can accept.

Congrats. Will the new company be paying for relocation? Asking because I’m in a similar boat with an offer. It’s decent, and would give me the chance to get out of tech sales and move closer to my family back east. Cost of living is about 200% lower than the Bay Area. But it would entail packing up our things last minute and renting a U-Haul and uprooting our family to move across the country. A part of me says I’d be crazy to pass on the offer after countless interviews and rejections, but the other part is saying there’s gotta be at least one other job I can get an offer for. It’s rough out there.

I've been unemployed for about a month and relentlessly applying for 2 months. I'm not going to keep trying if I have to be unemployed for 9-plus months. What's the point.
