Anyone have any insight regarding the metal sourcing and logistics position? I'm considering a move but I don't want to go into anything more stressful than intermodal logistics. I hate the railways currently, specifically UP. BNSF is a close 2nd. Management is toxic and apathetic. I asked for a raise and they said it wasn't in budget.

Metal sourcing - broad statement. Metal purchasing ? Depends on the metal and the application. As with any product is how the metal is used. Is it linked to construction or a specific sector. Then you bet the validity of the product with standing fluctuations in the economy. I have been in logistics for 26 years all facets. I firmly believe you would be in a better spot working for the actual shipper than the other side of things these days.

Metal sourcing and logistics for a large international corporation mainly known for auto and motor bikes. I am thinking it's better to work on the shipping side. At the very least, a different kind of stress in which is also a good trade off because I enjoy learning new things and staying engaged constantly. Ocean, highway, intermodal, highway, and sometimes air, I'm told. May have a pension.

Sorry you are enduring a toxic environment. And stress. Check every option in order to pivot into something else. In the meantime do your best and reach out for supportive people.

My sister had received an offer letter for the "Functional Consulting - Analyst" role on 7th September, 2021. Been over a year now but have not heard back anything.

Although when we were able to get in touch with an HR, we were assured that we would be receiving a call letter after a month/week but that was 4-6 months back... No correspondence since then.

Anyone in a similar situation? Is there a clear way to know when the call letter would be released?

It’s very discouraging to continuously receive these rejection emails. With 9 years of supply chain experience, I am not sure why I would not be able to at least get an interview for entry level roles that require no experience. Not just this one pictured but others as well. I’ve applied to maybe 60 positions since May, both mid level and “entry” and no interviews. I’ve had my resume professionally re-written twice. Not sure where the disconnect is. Anyone else going through this same thing?
