Depender + Subjunctive
‘Depende del éxito que tenga con la búsqueda de un trabajo.'
The subjunctive ‘tenga’ is used here because: (i) The action hasn’t happened yet and (ii) There is doubt as to whether or not the action will in fact take place. Would this be correct? Is there any situation where the indicative ‘tengo’ would be correct?

A main clause that contains "depende de" will always trigger the use of the subjunctive in the dependent clause. This is because the action in the dependent clause hasn't happened yet.
