Been considering the LinkedIn "Open to Work" badge for my profile. I'm actively job searching but still employed. Does it really increase visibility with hiring managers, or should I keep my search more discreet? Any advice?

I've heard all sorts of opinions about that and my best guess is that it isn't that helpful. Someone I know said it increased messages they got from recruiters but most of them were inappropriate or just flat-out spam. I think it's probably best to just proceed without that, at least you'll be avoiding problems if your current employer happens to notice it.

I’ve seen the badge help with visibility, but it depends on your situation. If you’re still employed, I usually recommend just using the private “open to work” setting so recruiters see you without broadcasting it to everyone.

It does increase visibility, but it is not discreet. I would only use it if you are comfortable with your employer potentially seeing it. Quiet networking often works just as well.

Hey all,

What's with the probation period with Deloitte India? What's the rate of termination, if there are any, unlike the other firms (who have a probation but 99.99% of the employees are confirmed at the end of probation).

Appreciate your inputs.

Thank you.

Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore? I’ve been at my (smaller) agency almost 5yrs and got one raise (a nice $12k bump) during that time—is that sufficient? Is one increase in that span normal? I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.

I’m having a really hard time with my changing body. 13 weeks, I don’t have too many bad side effects of pregnancy or anything so I consider myself lucky (no nausea ever etc) but I’m depressed at work, my skin is completely broken out and showing new broken face capillaries, and I’m not showing a bump yet so I just feel fat and big. I don’t know where this “glow” is but I look in the mirror and literally am grappling with not recognizing myself :( it’s been impossible to find any clothes too.
