I'm in NY, I have a job in NYC HR/Accounting and it is stable but I hate it. COVID drilled it into me when I was less stressed on furlough during COVID, than I was before COVID making money. I was thinking HR or something related to non-profit/ social services. I don't need to make much just around 60k.
If I were in a different city I wouldn't think of changing a stable job and income now. HOWEVER being in NYC I thought maybe the job market would be a little easier to navigate . I think the impact COVID had on NYC is more substantial than anywhere else. With the total shut down, the people on Furlough who couldn't afford to stay here even with the additional unemployment having to move out of the city. I feel like more people are moving out of the city, not into the city. I also feel like a lot of people are still getting unemployment and afraid of COVID so they are not in a hurry or even looking for a job now, as they don't have to until March when unemployment runs out. And a lot of the students who thought they were going to find a job and stay in the city went home and didn't enter the NYC workforce. And yes I know a lot of businesses are closing so I know I have to take that into consideration.
Is my reasoning crazy? Is this an opportunity or just crazy to make a change now? Thoughts, Ideas , Suggestions?
This is a once in a lifetime event the globe is going through. Normally I'd tell you to swing for the fences but I'd play it safe considering the worst is yet to come. Second lockdowns are around the corner. How obedient will the sheep be this time around? Less so, but still very. Our unemployment is above average. Dont make moves without having something more secure lined up.

Yes, I get it. It isn't only about finding a job but one where the company is secure and won't go out of business in a year. However I don't think there will be another lockdown unless hospitals are at capacity again. I don't think the city could afford another month or 6 of a lockdown and I don't think New Yorkers would stay inside again.

There won't be further lockdowns.
The main risk now is insolvency and layoffs.
Both HR and Accounting is vulnerable somewhat. You need to parlay into a Diversity and Inclusion career which is the buzz right now for maximum job security.

I wouldn’t bet that NYC doesn’t have another lockdown. All it needs is for a minor increase and Emperor Cuomo will get back on the phased approach.

Your reasoning isn't crazy. What's crazy is the idea that anyone knows what is going to happen.
