You are getting interviews, maybe it’s something in your interviews? Can you ask recruiters for feedback?

Thank you!! :)

Yeah get feedback. For me, i have the name brand to get the interview and enough relevant experience to go far but I can’t compete with someone who’s done pure strategy their whole careers.

So I’m looking at going to a boutique, investing a year on classic strategy work and then shooting again

... PS also cuz I don’t wanna pay for an mba

Thanks, makes a lot of sense - I’m in the same boat as you

OP how have you described your HC work and how have FAANG recruiters and hiring managers perceived it. I’m in HC as well and worry about this despite doing almost exclusively 4-12 week strategy, assessment, roadmap type work. Any referrals or just applying on the careers site? My guess would be it’s not a level issue (C vs SC). Given the popularity of these roles it’s likely just that there were more competitive applicants at the time.

Appreciate the advice! Good luck to you at work and in the exit process

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?
