You dont know how much i have prayed for this day.. this is good..

[jhenry]

I knew it wouldnt be long. You are too smart, thoughtful, beautiful to be unemployed for long. Your employer is lucky to have you.

[fatimahonanusi]

Yayyyy... I've been waiting. I am so proud of you.

[Sakura-zurz]

I haven't had any fun lately, You bring me joy!I love the kind and generous heartwarming atmosphere that you create, your kind, easygoing, warm vibe. I like the essence how you live on. I need to be true to myself and find a job I am passionate about. I want to find a way to live as who I really am.

[SFVone]

Awesome congrats! I took a 1 yr sabbatical in 2024 as well. Started refreshing my linkedin profile regularly end of year and recently received an offer. I'm so ready to work now 😄

[abdulmuminakinde]

Honestly, I didn't think this was ever in doubt. You're clearly talented and hardworking. Congratulations!

[DiamondFlame]

Congratulations girl 👏 I wouldn’t wish this labor market to even my worst enemies lol But 4 months to land a job is still good because I know people in my network who are still looking after 6+ months

[Senpaischick]

Girl it’s stressful af. I literally couldn’t quit my job until I secured a firm offer. I did everything from UX/UI to Social Media marketing and I finally landed a job in Social Media management and community engagement.

[josiea]

That's amazing, but you're amazing and I'm not surprised. They're lucky to have you. Well done.

[daryl.digital]

[bubuA]

Yassss!!!! Congratulations. So so happy for ya. In retrospect, knowing how hard the job market would become, would you still have taken a sabbatical?

[AndrewHitti]

You are the coolest! Showing you can land a tech job even in a tough market 😱 Def grabbing that interview kit - I need to get like you!!

[adamking]

Congratulations. Job hunting has been one of the toughest experiences I've ever gone through.

[damolaOnikoyi]

So proud of you bukola👏. I was followed your Job hunting series and I'm happy you finally got some offers.
I got laid off too December last year, I'm grinding and looking out for new roles now. I will be following all your tips and advises for the job search. Thank you again for the awesome content.

[paulalexander]

Great tips. The mental and physical health aspect is tough to do. Especially during the holidays, when most folks are relaxed and spending money, you're sitting there worrying about getting job application responses.

[Neurospiceworld]

I actually got laid off from Google in 2023 and took a break and this was refreshing as I’m in the search again. Thank you so much girl

[perpetualtechnoob]

Congratulations, Bukola! More than a three-year search for me (and still ongoing) but I’m a “transitioner”.
I’m GOING TO land my first SE role, this year! 😤😅
