Hello. I was wondering if any HR professionals, recruiters or analysts know what the current market is like for finance and accounting people? I've been unemployed for 2+ months and have only gotten i think 6 interviews in the last 3 months? 2 of them while I was unemployed and available immediately. Was it the wrong time to be jumping or is the job market just really bad currently? Or is it because I've jumped around too much?

Background info: ~3 years experience, half year in non-profit > 1 year in Big 4 > 1 year in mid-sized GLIC (with another half year as intern at MNC). I progressed normally in Big 4 (took me 9 months to move from A1 to A2) but left due to not wanting to take professional papers (they had a policy where you can't move to senior if you're not taking professional papers like ACCA). Left the GLIC because it felt too small in terms of growth + work load and had problems with management (too unprofessional and too much focus on individual KPIs). How do I get recruiters to notice me? Should I have stayed longer at each company? idt my salary expectations are too high (4.3k-5.2k depending on company I'm applying for and role).

try 3-4k salary easier to get...
later only look for 4-5k salary after got the new job...

I've tried a few 3-4k also nothing. Plus lower end of that range feels hard to survive nowadays especially if giving some money to parents too :/

know some1 who was in your situation.
i know it's hard but, something is better than nothing at the moment.
try factory work, f&b or retail.
some places can earn up to 5k monthly...
job hunting aggressively each day...
