Been traveling for a month since the layoff. Opened the laptop today and realized I have zero motivation to apply. 😣 How’s the job market been?

Took me 8 months of continual applications and interviews to land something. Had 6.5 years of consulting at Slalom, prior to that I led digital marketing teams in healthcare… total career is around 13 years of experience.

Landed a job in Life Sciences and went through 160k to 220k. Totally worth it. Stay motivated.

I had around 10 interviews. Got to the final round for several of them, but didn’t get an offer. Each time they went with an internal candidate. I focused on my transformation and leadership skills in all my interviews. I didn’t have a career gap since I wasn’t laid off, but if I was laid off I would just say that and explain that the entire professional services industry had wide spread layoffs.

nothing better than watching your savings drain. until it hits a certain point, chill

Close the laptop, travel more and come back in 2 years; and hoping the market gets better.

Hello everyone !
I just graduated and I have made it pass the third interview which was a two part working interview that I will receive compensation for. I have BS degree in healthcare professions and wanted to know if 40k is too low of salary to start off as a compliance officer for a pharmacy that provides discounted medications. My first 3 months will be training for my position but I will be paid the same. The job hasn’t offered me a dollar amount yet and I want to be best prepared.
