Hey everyone! I will be relocating to Seattle next month and will locally navigate the job market for DevOps/Infrastructure roles. My concern is - I'm trying to gauge if a 3 to 4-month job search is realistic, and if a search stretches to 6+ months, do recruiters view that as a major red flag, or is it pretty understandable right now?

I think pragmatism weighs the heaviest here. If I was on an interview with someone who searched for 6 mo, I would just need answers to: • what roles/fits did they want? • which industries were they targeting? Depending on if you were focusing on entertainment, sciences, manufacturing, health, etc. there could be explainable scarcity Admittedly, people who cannot empathize with that are a red flag in general.
