And you know, I mean, without COVID he might not have been entirely wrong. I know at least three of us (including myself) in our 4-person-cohort landed interviews or campus visits and so very nearly landed the jobs. Had COVID not shut down the market, we might well of done it.

But as of now it seems very likely that by the time the job market is back to normal - probably not this fall, but perhaps next - there's going to be almost three full years of fresh-PhDs to compete with and my degree will be quite 'stale' (a dumb concept, but there it is)
