I accidentally applied to a job using my company email. I made a mistake while selecting from the drop down list of emails and now I got a email on my company mailbox saying “thanks for applying”.
I am freaking out real bad thinking about the worst scenarios as consequences.
What is the worst thing that can happen? Will I be terminated.

I think you'll be fine. Isn't as big of a deal as it seems and as long as your work at your current job doesn't suffer, I doubt they'll even notice let alone call you on it.

You will be fine. I have def done this before. Unless they are REALLY monitoring your email, they will likely never know. And they would have a hard time terminating you for this anyhow.

Check on mailbox monitoring rules in your org, are all external mails monitored or any filters..? Based on that you can figure out

Why would you be terminated? How would anyone even know, unless they're actively monitoring your work email?

Nothing, just chill. It's okay.

Literally nothing will happen. Delete the email and move on, and go on the HR system you applied through and change the email

Hello recruiters, happy Monday!

I want to know why recruiters ask me in an interview if I am looking at other opportunities, or if I am interviewing at other companies. If I say yes they will ask at what stage I am.

I just want to know the reason behind it and if there is a right answer to this question!

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.

Hey Friends, need help!! I am a developer with 1.6 YoE, got placed on-campus (NIT), can code well in Java and Python, but want to move into an analyst type role as I am not sure if I can be a good 'developer'.
Is it an ideal move for a long career, or if I want to do an MBA in future?
If so, could you please suggest how to prepare for such roles in good companies?
I feel a little lost with a lot of self doubt, and possibly need some counselling on this too. Suggestions are welcome.
