Reminder that it's really hard to get hired in October, November, and December. So if you've been job seeking and have gotten very little traction the past few months, know that it's not you. Don't give up hope!

* Hiring teams have the fewest open roles left at year's end

* It's tough to put interview schedules together because everyone is on vacation

* Even with the interviews, it's tough to schedule the debrief + hiring committee + offer review

Etc

@mekkaokereke the best interview process I had was during this time: they needed the role filled, I had applied to a previous gig and they reached back out to me, so I was doing my take-home assignment from my in-laws over Christmas break.

Thanks, @robla . Changed my life.

@Greg - it's worth noting that you benefited greatly by a well-timed mention from @mindspillage ; I may not have remembered to look you up again had she not noted that you were back on the job market. As I recall, there was a series of improbable events that happened leading up to the offer letter. I'm glad it worked out.
