Got laid off From Oracle NetSuite in June from and SDR position, (first position post-uni).

Now waiting to hear back from an analyst(evolution to consultant) role from an Oracle OCI Risk & Implementation boutique firm. I am moving to a new city and hate the idea of being remote in a new city with not many friends living there, am I overthinking this? I am young and maybe yes, a little naive at times when it comes to decisions like this. I am almost certain I got the job but..

It's hard alone to break into IT consulting right now and thankfully through referral, found an analyst position to break into IT consulting. I have family in the city I'm moving to (Chicago) but meeting an established network will be rough.. any tips?

I live in Chicago and was recently laid off from Oracle, though in a different dept. Happy to provide guidance to Chicago-living! I do agree being remote early in your career can be difficult, but there are a lot of networking opportunities and ways to meet people in the city :)

Anyone hiring? Looking to make the jump back to big 4.

Hi
Would love to get your opinion on this-
I am planning on applying to business school this year in round 1 and round 2. I am in india working at D. I have received an offer to work with another big 4 in London as manager with their consulting team starting June. The role is definitely a step up in terms of responsibilities from my current role as a senior consultant. Do you think it might hamper my business school application changing jobs so close to round 1? Have been at D for 4 yrs

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

I opened up my LinkedIn to recruiters but all the offers are 60-70k base and 120-140k OTE. I am shooting for MINIMUM 80k base but ideally 100k or more.

What would you do?
