Another day, another final-round rejection. I’ve been looking for an in-house position for over a year. I feel like I’m so close, but not getting offers. Nobody has provided feedback when I’ve asked for it.

How much of it comes down to experience, the market, or other factors? Fifth year in a regulatory practice, if it matters.

This. Put quantitative data (case load, successes, etc). Business ppl do that. Nobody cares what you’ve done in your depos. They want results, not what you’ve done but how you did it to reach the result

It took me a year for me to just find one. Like you, lots of interviews. They always told me it was just the candidate pool and more qualification. Mine actually found me. Make sure your LinkedIn is open to work and select “in-house”

Hey guys ,
I was a fresher when i joined wipro
My manager has given me rating 1 in confirmatory appraisal on may 18 may which happened after completion of 1 year at wipro.
I raised the issue of rating with my manager immediately , he convinced me not to worry , ratings are already submitted , I asked him to resubmit cause i don't deserve rating 1
So he said he will look if that is possible but didn't changed .Now after 3 months they are pressurizing me to put a resignation,what should i do?
