Am I just unlucky(/unpopular!) or are you also finding creative recruiters and agency talent people ridiculously bad now? Like, ‘barely any point in contacting them’ bad?

It’s terrible. Recruiters used to build relationships with candidates and agencies. There used to be recruiters who would check in for a chat (even if you were happy at your job) just to keep a relationship going. Now, recruiters just post vague job posts on LinkedIn, maybe respond to the first 4 DMs before commenting “no longer accepting applicants” after an hour and call it a day.

The LinkedIn cattle calls are wild. And dehumanising. Just throwing out some scraps to the begging masses without making eye contact.

What features do you look for when looking for payment and merchant services? It seems like a lot of people go with Square because it’s simple but you’re paying for it and it doesn’t offer many features. I’m trying to get back into this business. I work with a reputable company offering full-featured business service and I’m here to offer other features and help other small businesses evaluate their options. Can help cut costs, help with cash flow and other services, inventory management, etc.

Hi guys, I have got one full time job for 14LPA from 10.5LPA in Coforge for BA role.

I was interested to go CA but scared in terms of job security, economic slowdown and a big change. Is it worth going to CA on contract basis job declining the full time opportunity in India.
