This is a great read, thankyou. I'm currently looking for work, having been laid off from a position that I'd been in for $mumblemany years. The payout has given us breathing space, but I'm eager to get back to work. I've had chats with recruiters, six interviews in 5 months. The company that I'd really like to work for was looking promising until there was a hiring freeze so that knocked my mood a bit. My challenges are that my skills are rather "niche" and I've been a fulltime remote worker for 15 years so I'm not willing to uproot my family. Still, there are opportunities out there and I'm pursuing them.

Thankyou for the Three Questions post, too. I ask something similar to your #2, but more "What's the most interesting and/or difficult-to-solve thing you have done in this role?" - that's gotten me some very intriguing answers!
