How can we improve. I’m not taking not for an answer

Adjusting resumes, networking. When I started doing that I got many interviews. No offer yet but hopefully soon!

How come on some other posts we are not allowed to comment?

Because you’re a student

This was back in 2012 when I was first looking for work out of college, but I got about 100 rejections, 1 very strange interview and then ghosted, and 1 offer.

Now that I have experience, it's really about networking and who I know rather than cold applying.

Lool, one very strange Interview

This can vary a lot. On my first job I got rejected like 5 times and in my current job, I got it at the very first place I applied. Best of luck to you though!

Hi everybody! 😊
I've been working as a Junior Analog Design Engineer for a year and half.
I received a proposal for a Senior Analog Designer role from Bosch in the same city where I am currently working.
Should I wait and build up a few more years of experience before accepting a Senior role or should I jump in and work to fill the gap?
Next year, there will be an important deadline for the project I'm working on and my resignation could be critical for the team, how would you deal with it?
