Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• My whole job search is just refreshing job boards and firing off applications into the void, competing with hundreds of strangers for whatever happens to be posted
• My income doesn’t depend on where I sit, and I keep doing the math on how far the same paycheck would stretch somewhere cheaper
• Someone asks "so what are you looking for?" and I ramble out something vague and apologetic
• I’ve got a big move (or a new job) coming up in a couple of months, and I can feel it’s a rare chance to start fresh
• I want to message someone in a field I’m curious about, but I freeze on what to even say
