Why the Job Market Feels Broken and What It Means for Your Future

The job market is confusing right now.

One day, companies hire aggressively, the next day, entire departments disappear.

People with years of experience are worried, and beginners feel stuck before they even begin.

In this conversation, Moshe Bochner and Zrilly Werzberger open the curtain on what they see every day.

Companies are cutting staff, shifting priorities, and becoming more selective than ever.

At the same time, opportunity still exists for people who show growth, discipline, and the ability to bring real value.

Zrilly brings the view from inside the hiring world.

Moshe brings the financial and operational lens of running businesses.

Together, they explore how people can navigate this moment, how companies decide who stays and who goes, and what experience truly means today.

The market goes through cycles.

Some doors close, others quietly open.

The question becomes:

How do you position yourself so your value is clear when the next opportunity arrives?
