There is never a good or bad time to look for a new job. Maybe, just maybe you can take a breather fourth to twelveth month of your new employment. There are always opportunities out there to sieze. Take my case, for instance. I ended uni and started looking for a job in my field, with a degree in accounting. At the time, economy was booming, employers were crying their eyes out, that they can't find anybody to fill roles, unemployment was sitting at 3%. Two years of looking for a job, well over 1000 CVs sent out, very interviews, none of them returned an offer. I then took a less than minimum wage job with an idiot of an employer, just to get my experience up, then had a panic attack caused by said employer and off for another year of aggressive job seach, sending out CVs with no luck... then covid hit and, third minister of healthcare in (we had four total just during covid), I scored my first decent job... I found a job in my field for more than minimum wage, in the middle of a lockdown! When I could have been fined, for crossing county borders without proof of good cause.
Even in bad times, there are people, who need job done and are willing to pay for it. It would be crazy, not to look. Maybe don't advertise on job boards, but do send CVs out and take calls from recruiters.
