How do people find the platforms like Linkedin, Indeed, Reeds, efinanciers etc during their job search?

4YOE CA, MBA in a few weeks and dropping applications since March along Finance/Consulting/Investment places with little success.

Either:

- I'm aiming out of my league (target £65-75k)

- I'm doing it wrong i.e. need to buff up CV, Cover letter more

- I'm looking in the wrong places

- The platforms are completly bollock and I need to do more through networking etc

Any thoughts?

I don’t think your target salary range is too high for consulting/investment analyst roles, I have 3.5 YOE and was recently offered £62k for a role in investment ops. The issue might be that recruiters on LinkedIn etc seem to do a box ticking exercise where you have to have very similar experience to what they’re looking for or they won’t bother with you. So you might have to approach a reputable agency, tell them what you’re looking for and why they should they put you forward. Also yes definitely more networking. Good luck

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
1. Is it fair to leave an organisation (big brand) after a year as the environment is real toxic and there’s no career growth as well in terms of good work.
2. If I have to make a switch do I really have to target big brands only or can try for medium and small size companies too.
