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

Recruiting working too well but feel compelled to wait for the perfect fit vs jumping at an opportunity. Have shut down 2 job offers in the last 2 months.

Same here. I've been trying to jump to Deloitte but have not had much luck despite folks considering me as a "strong candidate". Glad to know we're all in this though.

Consider it a blessing

At what level are exit opportunities the best? C and above or just depends

I currently work at a large research institution and am in the process of getting retroactively reclassified to a new title (Long story but my PI is cheap and routinely pays ppl the bare minimum so now the Union is helping me w/ a retro reclass.) Reclass can take 2 - 6 months to process. Meanwhile, I am interviewing for industry job. If I get an industry job, what do I do if my reclass isn’t processed yet? I want the title and the money owed which may be about $15000- 20000.

Hey all! I have an interview with
Deloitte in Regulatory Risk and more precisely in their Investment Management Services team. I would like to know if anyone

Is it the case here?

Should I ask Chicago for an answer? Or should I wait until there's an offer from DC judge? Maybe seems better to withdraw before an offer is made rather than ask for time to think about it/turn down DC? What's proper etiquette?

Just got a “Sheraton Vacations” special offer to basically get 5 nights at a Florida property for $250.

I read the fine print and other than a need to be flexible in terms of when you book, it doesn’t seem like there is a catch.

Anyone familiar with this “promotion” and what the downside might be? Or are they just looking to drive revenue to their other areas (restaurants, spa, etc) with a cheap room?
