I’ve worked as a Marketing Manager for smaller companies for the past 2 years. I’ve done a little bit of everything from graphic design to Google ads you name it.

As compensations are being communicated throughout the next weeks/months, I’m curious of what your expectations are if you’re due to being promoted. For example, I’m an Audit S3 in HCOL and will be promoted to manager, expecting ~20% increase in salary. What are your promotion expectations? Is 20% increase for manager too ambitious?

I had applied for two job openings in Deloitte USI for ServiceNow Developer role and they rejected the application within 4 hrs of applying stating “Unfortunately, after careful consideration, we have determined that our current position is not ideally suited to your talents, experience, and qualifications.” Can anyone shed some light on this. Are there any other eligibility criteria which I may be failing to meet? My 10th, 12th and Graduation is above 70 Deloitte Deloitte USI Deloitte India

I got laid off in January and have been trying to find a new job since. I keep making it to the phone interview and sometimes a second interview, but always get ghosted. It’s so disheartening.

I have too much experience for an internship, and I have too little to be the top choice for copywriter roles. I know I’m a good writer, I know what I’m capable of, but it’s so exhausting trying to convince people. They always like my book but it’s never enough to get the gig. What can I do?
