When should you begin? Any particular month or level?

10 weeks from first applying around to starting the new job

The job I wound up taking, it took a week between the recruiter contacting me and getting the offer. I did two interviews with them in addition to the conversation with the internal recruiter. I find that the process goes much faster when it's started by a recruiter contacting me because it means they're ready to start interviewing. I'd been job searching for about a month, but mostly just in that my resume was out there, I wasn't applying to much.

I have a clearance and a technical skill set that's in demand/hard to find cleared people for. That was almost all of the local jobs I got contacted about. Most of the non local ones were just the technical piece, a lot in places where they probably have trouble recruiting locally.

All in all from starting to seriously apply and interview to accepting a job offer took 4.5 months. I was rejected quite a bit before something stuck.
The one that stuck, from recruiter reach out to accepting offer took 2.5 weeks.

2.25 months previous time

Mine took about 3 weeks from first recruiter call to offer.

And 3 months this time...but christmas shut down the process for 2 weeks

LEK was 5 weeks from application submitted to start date. 2 weeks from offer to start date. Wild ride

I have an offer accepted from Elevance 125k (Anthem) and w a good team and seems that WLB would be ok. Also, Amazon hiring manager wants to interview me for a job. Is just a hiring manager int. so obvi nothing guaranteed. Salary if offered will be more than 150k. My question is should I accept the interview and see where it goes? Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.

Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?

If you’re “Networking” you’re doing it wrong.

Would you walk up to someone you’ve never met at a dinner party and ask for their number?

That’s what a connection request without a note is like.

Not interested.

Start a conversation. Be friendly. Be genuine. Be curious. Be respectful. Learn and exchange ideas.

Don’t only reach out when you need a job.

Get to know childrens’ names and favorite vacations.

Be a friend.

Friends aren’t a “network”.

They’re people we care about.
