I am currently in OPS and outside general job angst and inflation , OT is not bad and there might be some opportunities to make 75k or so, but it is salary, which with OT I can make pretty mug and then some. But as I look at my mcol area, it seems like Indeed and bls stats have collapsed. We went from 130 job openings down to 60 openings. I know there might be an uptick in jobs in the fall, but to have a drop off like this seems like there is a deemphasis on finance in this area as it used to be a low cost ops center, but it has exploded since I moved here.

My question is, would a stable two years in number of openings, follow by a decline this year seem like a collapse of is cyclical? Up until 2020 it was a huge growth story, but housing went sky high. I get it is hard put there, but even in largest markets that are not primary financial markets (Dallas, Phoenix, etc.) the crash did not seem so significant. It makes me wonder if it is time to move to greener pastures. Thanks.
