Are you throughly vetting the details of the job description when you apply?
You might be applying to wrong roles that don’t fit your experience.
Business analyst is such a generic title. Tweak the title in your resume to the role you are applying AND also look for roles that have a more specialized title. For example, business analyst could be an IT role. Look for roles as Product or Project Owner. Or if it’s an operation or pricing analyst then look for roles that actually say that in the title.

thank you so much! tweaking the titles never occurred to me. i’ll do that going forward!!

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

I got a call from KPMG HR for the role of Associate consultant in research team, When she asked me about the expected ctc, I think I quoted less than the market standards but since I am underpaid currently so the amount I quoted was 40-45% hike on my fixed. I have experience of 2.9years
Can anybody please suggest if I clear their interviews will they consider increasing CTC from whatever I quoted becase upon searching for ACon roles they pay much higher than what I quoted.

At a dead end and don't know what to do besides stop! I've been job searching everyday, some days several hours for 8 months straight.

I really want to give up and just sit and hope for a miracle at this point. Can anyone relate? How are you keeping faith? Any tips or tricks?
