Also in the UK and can confirm very sluggish. I’m struggling to even get phone calls back from recruiters.
I would love to switch career path too. I’ve spent 6 years doing software development and vulnerability research in a heavily customer facing role, and would now like to look at something like solutions engineering. The reality is that all these companies likely have 100+ better qualified applicants, and there aren’t many companies who would like to take a gamble given the more attractive alternatives.
Don’t give up, I’m sure the right thing will come along! You’re not alone, if that’s any consolation at all.
