How hard is it to get into FAANG-MULA right now without a referral? I applied to one job and with the high demand, I thought I’d hear back by now (2weeks).

Hard for the roles that pay well. You should definitely get a referral.

The bar hasn't lowered at top companies.

I’ve had a dozen recruiters reach out to me from FB(meta) for a position I’m not enthusiastic about after my first round interviews and declined proceeding. They still reach out to me, but I can’t get any of them to pass my resume on to the recruiter for a position that actually interests me.

This normal at #facebook ?

Yes it’s normal for other FAANGS and Tik tok too

There doesn't seem to be unusually high demand for non-engineers at tech firms. The big demand you hear about on the news tends to be about blue collar jobs (food service, trucking, retail, etc).

^. We have plenty of non tech people. Hard to find actually technical individuals

If I don’t get promoted this year, I prob won’t next year bc I will take a lot of maternity leave. Need some advice here.

I applied to many new grad positions at Deloitte Canada. I gave two rounds of interviews for Risk Advisory. I see all the other positions in my portal as process complete.
Should I assume anything?

I recently learned from 3 different employees that left (voluntarily) they were making 98-105k. They were outside candidates and were all hired within the last year and for the same position, and same regional territory. I have worked for the company 3+ years and went from a core position, to large loss. I was given a 10k raise putting me around 78k. Yes.... some of these individuals have Lardge Losss experience but does that really make a 20-25k difference? Any advise!?

I recently transitioned from a small, boutique agency to a global agency — meaning I went from being on an account team of 2, to being on a team of 10+. I’m also not currently managing anyone (and I miss it!). I entered this new role promising myself to set new boundaries since I’m used to measuring my success by my stress level. However, old habits die hard. I feel underutilized six months into the role. How can I adjust to finally having support and resources after years of abuse?
