In this episode of 2 Cyber Chicks, Jax and Erika dive into the current state of the labor force and the macroeconomic factors shaping the job market. With roles being eliminated, a shift towards junior positions, and companies expecting employees to do more with less, it’s more important than ever to be strategic in your job search and professional growth.
