Prepare yourselves, job market candidates! Things have been a mess since 2020. Each school has its own interview format, exploding offers all over the place, lots of HRMs failing the market, people coming back from industry, and so forth.
GOOD LUCK!

2024 will be a mess just like 2023, but in the middle of a recession. And interest rates are going up so I don't think people will take out loans to pay for masters or MBAs. Also, many didn't find a job in the last couple years and should be back on the market. Hoping to be wrong but I think it will be a very bad market.

Which psych PhD students are trying the marketing job market this year or next year (2024 or 2025)?
yeah, they better try. given their focus on how sound/light impacts how people choose coffee, they have a good shot.
I hope they all stay away. What a waste of time interviewing someone who does not understand what a consumer is or what market cap means.

Are the ads on the ama website? Any other recommendations?You would have a good shot at a lot of the more econ-oriented groups. Attend some of the major conferences (SICS, QME) to make your interest known, then keep an eye on the summer job postings.

Your research profile is what people want in Econ minded departments, so I think you have a good shot. You’d have some minor things to prove to departments but they’re pretty minor, especially if you have marketing pubs (so you’ve signaled you’re interested in marketing questions, and can help phd students).
Attend conferences and let people know you’re looking. I’d apply to any positions but you’re going to likely have more luck with seasoned/advanced assistant hiring which starts around thanksgiving- or used to.

Any predictions for the market this year?
1) A lot of people will get jobs
2) People will overhype some top school candidate just to talk shit when they don't match unrealistic expectations
3) Econ and industry people will continue to take top jobs
4) EJMR will lose interest in the job market around Thanksgiving
5) The spring market will continue to be stronger than previous years (especially for behavioral) including a few noteworthy schools
6) Indiana and OSU will lose out on candidates who chose to go to lower ranked schools just so they don't have to live in Indiana and Ohio
