I have been looking for a new job for about 6 months now and can't seem to find anything. I am really focused on finding a job that pays me what I deserve to be paid. Hoping the new year will bring me that job.

Same here! I need to exit here on my own terms, not theirs. Insane workload and toxic culture is not conducive to my health, but I need an income so trying to hang on until I can land something better!

I've been hoping to find a better job, that was one of my goals for 2025. The job market wasn't cooperative at all, but I'm hoping things might look up in the new year. If you can't be optimistic on New Year's Eve, you just can't be optimistic.

Yeah 2025 was definitely a rough year to be in the job market

Yeah hoping to finish paying off all my debt this year!

Me too! I should have all my credit card debt (I know, I know) paid off by June. It is going to feel so freeing not having that hanging over me anymore.

I wanted to really test the job market and see if there are any better opportunities out in the market.

I plan on passing the Level 1 CFA exam. Sitting for it in May!

Finish my AAT qualification! I’ve done level 2 and 3 but still need to finish it off and do Level 4

👋🏼 HI! 34 yo female looking to break into an entry level sales role (pharmaceutical/health/wellness) related ideally. But open to where I need to start to get my foot in the door.

I got a remote L6 SWE offer at Google but the RSUs are too low for that level ($625k over 4 years), could not negotiate it higher. I’ve accepted the offer but trying to be hopeful that I could make it more equitable in the future if I perform well. Are stock refreshers based on the initial RSU grant or solely based on performance? Google

I’m currently in a lease admin type role, in commercial real estate. I make a base salary of $50.5K with about $9k in bonuses. I’ve continuously received 7-10% raises over the last 3 years. I anticipate getting a promotion this year and would like to get closer to $60k for my base salary. I’m the only person in my role at the company and have been a key person in developing our team as we look to expand. Is this unreasonable? Is there a normal increase given with promotions? Thanks in advance!

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?
