Do you ever go to the second page of Google?

Depends on the level. Two pages is alright if you have15+ years of experience. Just dont expect anyone to read the second page though. According to a study conducted by The Ladders, recruiters spend an average of 6 seconds looking at a resume.

And about twice as long looking at your book. If you don’t believe me look at your analytics. Sometimes CDs will spend a whole 5 minutes there.

I have around 7 years of experience and have my resume as 1 and half pages. Although second page has some unrelated job experience and schooling stuff.

Hi Fishes!

This question is mainly for the people in that 20s and 30s. Just want to know if there is a trend and if our spending habits are taking a turn for the worse.

Most of us saw increase in our pay checks earlier this year, mainly due to resignation wave. Given how easy it is to spend money these days, have you guys noticed any changes in your spending habits? Have you started overspending or you are still mindful about day to day purchases?
