That's a very consultant answer.... Let's assume I am equally interested in all industries? 🤷‍♂️

Tech?

If you are only focusing on resume I would say tech or biotech. You probably want to join a small to midsize company that is on growth path. Those are the industries where finding the right product market fit can take a single product to 1-10 bn with very little marginal cost. So the is a premium on placing the right bets and if you are at a company that hits, it is usually easy to jump to higher levels because the growth is explosive. There are also a lot of transactions and BD in those spaces, which is good experience. Tech, bioy check, pharma, and Finance also typically pay the best.

My last job didn't have nearly as many steps or procedures to go through, even for sponcon. I'm given briefs & some next steps but still feel like I'm missing puzzle pieces. I'm freelancing so I feel like I have a ticking time bomb on when I can figure it all out.

Hey fellow designers,

Is anyone else facing the brunt of working in a service based company and trying to move to a startup product company being dragged down by the 90 days notice period.

I have had a couple of interviews with good startup product companies where the main issue is my 90 days of notice period. Most startups simply run away at the mention of 90 days NP.

Even established product companies shy away at this. Has anyone recently switched despite this long a notice period?

Hi Fishes,

I got an offer from PwC. The joining date that I had agreed from my side was 2 June. But I don't know that even in probation the NP is 90 days (it was mentioned in the release doc as 1 month but I didn't take that screenshot as proof). I told the whole issue to my recruiter and she sent a confirmation mail stating that she will revise my joining date by 90 days without issue. Is there any chance they can revoke the offer? I have put down my papers already.
