How are COVID related layoffs being perceived? Are firms understanding given the idiosyncratic situation, or will a gap in your resume still be held against you?

If it’s anything like the layoffs we had in 09, firms will understand.

I cleared the technical interview in LTI.
It's been almost 3 weeks now I had my HR discussion and submitted the documents, however my offer is pending.

I tried to connect with HR, she said it is pending for BU go-ahead.

Is there anyone else facing this issue.
Just trying to understand if they will release the offer.

Have others found it hard to transition from Audit to Financial Analyst? All the recruiters I’m meeting with are telling me I probably won’t get an interview since they’re looking for someone who’s ready to hit the ground running.

I have a 25K loan from my MBA. I paid off 100k whole, after graduation. 3 years ago, I moved my loan from federal to private ( SOFI) account. I recently lost my job. I have applied for unemployment, as the severance that I received will only cover for 2 months. Together my husband and I used to make less than 250k after tax. Now, with a loss of pay , we are going to make less. Do you think I will be eligible for Loan forgiveness?

Hi everyone 👋

I have worked with this group for 2 years as a front desk administrator for an endoscopy suite. Along with that role I have taken on other responsibilities including Open Access Scheduling and the occasional resume screening and interview scheduling through indeed. About a year in, management increased my pay from $14/hr to $15.25/hr during the height of covid. I am starting school soon and will be working part time. Would it be fair to ask for another raise?
