Got laid off and not having luck with job apps. Would appreciate recommendations on how to make a switch (from those who did recently). Networking with KPMG alum at other companies has been an exercise in futility (so far). Reached out to a client and they've been super slow to respond. Would appreciate actionable advice.

Aside from just time and experience, is there anything I can actively do to advance in my career and get more responsibility / client interaction? I’m a first year

I’ve told him the truth - my client has no interest in trying to settle if his demand remains about twenty times higher than the actual worst case (for us) jury verdict. More in comments...

Tip o’ the hat to all the SVPs and EVPs who reply all “congrats team, well deserved...” to the email from the client thanking the team for sending out that banner ad expeditiously.

How many times has an interviewer no-showed and the recruiter profusely apologizing on their behalf?
Happened to me with Mindtree recruiter, for an IoT leadership position where the interviewing VP chose to no show twice… after which I thanked the recruiter that I was impressed by their book of busi-ness and that it was intimidating to be thinking about the prospect of working for Mindtree… as I’m too incapable for those performance standards… 😂😂

Sooo
