Anyone else feel like they’re unhappy at the current role but unsuccessful in recruiting/interviewing for the next job? Just wanted to vent and see if anyone is in the same spot. Happy Friday, too :)

Yeah it’s tough, went through 10+ interviews with Google since February for 6 different roles, 2
final rounds and they ended up picking another person for HC...had a few other opportunities in parallel but also similar outcome for most. Final rounds but didn’t make the cut. Continuing to be optimistic though and continuing to interview...

I’ve been passively trying on and off for 18 months. I get contacted by recruiters all the time for other consulting roles, but I am trying to switch industries, so it’s been tough. I did finally get contacted about a dream role last month, but I didn’t get it after the interview :/. Still, I’m hopeful something will come if I’m patient.

Piece of advice - try not to mentally check out of your current job. I got promoted this past year while job searching.

I’ll also say that I’ve become really picky. I only apply to 1-2 jobs per month max. The job is going to have to be awesome to make it worth my while. (This is why it’s taking so long, lol)

I’m in recruiting and I’d say apply for more than 1-2 jobs but instead be selective with which interviews you go to if you really want to make a move. A phone call with recruiters can open a door to roles not publicly posted or jobs other places as recruiters that are good at their job help network good talent with peers

Been looking for over a year. Get to the final interview rounds every time and so far only one offer that I turned down. It's tough at times but trying to keep my head up.

Have been trying to find something that's more results-driven, not driven by utilization and billable hours.
