I feel so defeated. I am working for a company that does not value me as an employee and has hinder my growth and productivity to the point that it is affecting my mental health. I have been searching for a new position and have had a healthy amount of interviews, but no luck in securing a new gig. The one position I really wanted I have not heard back from for a third interview and don't want to appear pushy but I really want to follow up. It's been a week :(

Definitely follow up if you haven't already! A follow up after a week is not pushy, it's normal and nobody would hold that against you.

I 100% feel where you are at. Your current company making you feel undervalued and stopping your growth, the brutal job market and waiting to hear from companies. It seems like they are all doing at least 2-4 interviews. I always send a thank you email after my interview, touching on something personal I enjoyed learning about them, reiterating my skills and a quick check in question, asking for a timeframe to expect. If you have already done that, then a quick email asking for an update and expressing your interest.

Thank you for your kindness, I really appreciate it as I need it right now :(

You should try to follow up on that whenever you think enough time has passed. Companies are often pretty slow in getting back to people. But keep looking regardless, persistence is your friend.

I followed up earlier in the day and crickets. Going to give them until Tuesday and will send a second follow up. Thank you for the advice, I've been really struggling 😢

Keep jumping till u feel valued. I was in the same space found a job that pays me more and values me love my new managers. If u have that feeling dont ignore it our it will multiply. Its your inner voice telling you something isnt right.

I think a week, two weeks max is a reasonable amount of time to follow up with a company to see if they're still in the decision-making process or if they've decided to go another route. Fingers crossed for you its good news, I know how nerve-wracking it can be! In the meantime, sending you all of the good job finding vibes.

I’m currently interviewing with a few top 10 firms and a couple top 100 firms for a mostly remote experienced associate/new senior role. Does anyone have any tips on virtual interviews and how to gauge the culture of the firm and if it really will be a good fit for you? I’m struggling to figure out that out because I used to gauge it on the feeling I got while in their office during interviews. Any suggestions would be helpful :)

I'm in the middle of a background check with Deloitte for a Project Delivery role. In the background check application I listed my previous employers - Cognizant/Teksystems etc but my resume only had the client names I worked at . Does this pose a problem if Deloitte HR compares my resume to the background check form ? Also my title within cognizant might have been an associate but my resume mentions the designation for the client. Is this a reason for concern? Will they ask me to justify it ?
