Do you think it’s worth it to apply to new roles now, or is it better to wait until the new year? I’m starting to get back into job hunting and can’t tell if it’s good to apply because there will be less applicants or if I’ll get buried as people are out of office.

My thinking is, it's better to apply when they post the job and they will review resumes when they get to them. I don't really think there's a huge difference between being the first applicant and being the 500th. They all get reviewed the same. I'd rather do it now than scramble in the new year and maybe miss some opportunities.

Helpful, thank you! That’s where I was leaning too, but good to have the validation

Keep applying as they come up

Thank you!

Same! I'm having the same exact thoughts.

Yes. Why do you ask?

I’d send them early and you will be first in line when they are refreshed and ready to dive back into the search

Basically it’s best to apply for remote control positions

As someone whose work anniversary is in December, the interviews were in November and it was a position that had to be filled by end of year. Everyone is on reset right now. So it’s a good time to review your game plan. Applying during the holidays doesn’t always put you on the top of the review pile. It could put you through the automated filtering process first.

Super helpful, thank you!

As a small tactical reason to always apply when you see it, there’s a chance it can be taken down at any moment or closed when they get enough applicants whether they’re all qualified or not. I missed the window on 2-3 recently that I took too long to think about it

Follow up post to my last post…My husband was laid off from the company where I also work. I am feeling really isolated / depressed about working and moving forward. I’m also getting to a stage where I’m really sad that people haven’t reached out to either my husband or myself to send well wishes or provide support. It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

Hi! I have been working in marketing and advertising for ~5 years and recently started exploring the freelance side of things. I started conversations with a small boutique studio about doing Facebook ads for them and they asked what my retainer fee would be to manage them. Since I’ve always worked for a company that was hired to do it I am not entirely sure what a freelance rate for that should be? I would love any insight. I’m certified through meta’s platform too if that matters.

Hello, I recently was reached out to by an in-house recruiter at a similar but slightly different company than the one I currently work for. The recruiter provided a base range and an OTE range. The lower end of that range is what I am currently making. The higher end of that range is almost 200k more than my current comp. The role is almost identical. I wasn’t looking to move, but that higher end range would set my family up very nicely for our goals. But I am happy at my current company. Help?
