I am planning to switch jobs - is Jan a good time to target? New year and probably new budgets

Hiring budgets tend to get approved usually during the last 1-2 months of the previous half and the actual HC opens up 1-2 months post start, so I’d say Feb is a better time. During Jan many will either still be in a festive mood or in planning frenzy, so I’d avoid it. Target season Feb-April.

Does that mean right now is a bad time to be applying?

Right now there may still be some trailing HC but not much and if they do it will be for roles which are either too hard to fill or too shitty to fill.
