Anyone have any insight what is happening in the BA market?

I'm an IT PM and I think both markets are somewhat similar. There are A LOT of us available in the market and a lot of us applying for any posting therefore companies can be ultra-selective. They can likely get more experienced people for less money, which may or may not be a good thing for them long term.
I know fantastic BAs who are in similar roles to you or in a role that isn't their dream gig, but it is a job. I think one needs to be happy with what one can get right now and as long as they aren't hell to work for, asking unethical practices, or the stress isn't unbearable, riding things out for a year is prudent. I think everyone is hopeful end of year/post vaccines things stabilize a bit.
By all means, keep an eye out as there is nothing wrong with applying and hopefully interviewing just to stay connected with the market and to stay sharp.
