I am a 23-year-old female and have been working at my current company for about 10 months now, which is my first job after graduating. Initially, I had little understanding of how things operated, but after nearly a year, I've come to realize that there isn't much room for growth in my role. The promotion cycles have been frozen this year, and even colleagues who have been here for over two years haven't been promoted due to this. The cycle for the next designation is set at 18 months. I'm contemplating a job switch, but I'm feeling quite hopeless about it. The job market appears to be extremely tough, and finding my current position took me two months filled with endless applications, rejections, and a lot of mental stress. The only significant advantage of my current job is that it's fully remote, allowing me to save most of my salary. While the pay is decent, I'm torn between staying for another 1-2 years to gain more experience or actively searching for new opportunities right away. At this point, I don't have any plans for further studies. I'm seeking advice on effective job searching. Is LinkedIn the most reliable platform? Are job postings on Glassdoor legitimate? What other platforms or strategies have worked for others? The uncertainty surrounding my situation is really affecting my mental well-being, and I would appreciate any guidance from those who have faced similar challenges.
