Has anyone been hired in December, specifically in the weeks before Christmas? I’m still seeing plenty of postings and people sharing open roles on LinkedIn, so it seems like hiring is active. Curious if anyone has taken advantage of this period and interviewed or received offers in the first three weeks of December.

I got hired in the first week of December. It's normal because it's good time for you and them to go through the induction before the busy month kicks in January onwards.

I've been hired twice with start dates in mid-December. These were for corporate jobs before I joined the consulting world.

Just got hired at a job starting mid Dec. Also corporate not consulting

Just started a new job yesterday. My last job I started interviewing in December and was hired in January. You can do it!

A few times. Usually to back fill people taking vacations. Yearly, or bi yearly contacts, tend to show up in March or September, when new quarter schedules and budgets are filled. December managers want to spend the remainder of their budget so they aren't shorted next year.

I’ve had 3 interviews in the past week and am expecting an offer next week. This is for an internal facing role

Starting my new job tomorrow

JPMorgan Chase recently introduced a policy change to increase the notice period to 60 days. I'm a 602 and resigned recently and yet my LWD is showing up as 30 days from now. Anyone recently resigned can confirm if they are facing the same or new policy is in effect. This is causing confusion with the next companies I'm interviewing with.

I was a Manager at a Big4 doing PM fed work earlier this year. I decided to join a small firm to pursue cloud sales. However, the position is extremely technical in nature and I'm required to speak tech ( kubernetes, openshift, CICD) to potential clients.
While I have learned from the exposure, I dont intend to continue in a tech role & looking to exit. I'm thinking of Customer/ Partner Success Manager roles with one of the CSPs. Are there other non tech cloud exit opps in industry to consider?
