I was laid off last Tuesday from my role as a pricing analyst for a large company after a year of working there. I'm 27 and hold a BS degree in data science. My job involved using tools like Excel, PowerPoint, Tableau, Snowflake, R, and Python to analyze pricing for gas stations. Before this, I was a pricing analyst at an AM100 law firm, but I left after a year due to a toxic culture and lack of growth opportunities. Prior to that, I spent two years in a non-profit healthcare organization as an 'Excel monkey.' Right now, I'm feeling overwhelmed and scared about my future. I've been reading a lot of threads on job hunting and recruiting hell, and it's giving me serious existential dread. My resume looks choppy because I've jumped around jobs, and I'm worried that AI is making it harder to find positions in my field. The industry I have experience in feels unstable, especially with the ongoing conflicts affecting the economy. I've sent out over 60 applications but have only landed one phone screen, which I doubt will lead anywhere. I feel defeated and hopeless, especially since I've never stayed at a job long enough to earn a promotion. I'm just trying to gauge how bad my situation really is and if there's any hope for my career moving forward.
