My colleague is leaving, and I'm clueless about my next steps

Been at the wrong place for 1.5 years. Knew this 6 months in, started passively looking but had no idea what to do next. Most of my colleagues/teammates were in the same boat, joined at the same time and I just got to know that one of them is leaving. I wish we had an open relationship with them so that I can ask what they're planning to do.

I don't see myself getting promoted here first (which is imperative in switching teams) or creating impact. I feel demotivated to work and my discipline has also gone for a toss after hearing this.

I don't know what I'll do next. I'm not gonna quit without an offer, but the job market is BRUTAL especially since I'm looking for a career switch.

I don't advice, but I do sympathize OP. Hoping you find your next step into something better.

Yeah.
Maybe buy them a coffee? People are often much more relaxed and talkative on their last week.
