Laid off last year from management - unsure where to go from here
Job market has obviously been rough.
Had a good start to my career majoring in Management Information Systems and landing a job right out of college in 2021.
Was promoted a couple years later to program manager of a $140m program and did that for 2 years and was laid off in 2025.
Since then, I simply cannot get a job. I can get interviews here and there for entry roles and even director roles, but I'm in a weird spot where I don't hit 5 years of experience, and don't have a specific niche. I get auto filtered half the time getting denials at 2am.
I'm thinking of just picking up a part time job and waiting this market out by going back to school to get a master's degree in something specific that interests me (it's not MIS anymore), but genuinely lost a bit.
Any advice?
