I have been living and working in London for almost 3 yrs. I work in a decent job that is a stepping stone for what I’d like to do, but I feel like my growth at the company has been stifled by the poor economy & company performance (no promos, raises). When I left Canada in 2022, I was living a pretty cushy life in an employee’s market. I know that globally the economy has turned, but I’m having trouble finding a new role in London and wondering if I’d be better off in Canada/US. Any thoughts?

I think it's worth sending out some job applications and seeing what happens. I've been actively applying for a few months in the United States and it's pretty brutal here as well. But that doesn't necessarily mean you can't find something. If you're not happy where you are, you might as well make steps to change it. But I wouldn't personally leave a job, even an unsatisfying one, until you have something else lined up.

My first thought is that you might hit a lot of obstacles looking for work in the US, as things are not great. There are prominent and credible people talking about a potential recession and even stagflation, which hasn't been an issue since the disco era. Consequently a lot of organizations seem to be doing under the radar hiring freezes. But, you might as well test the waters and see how it goes, as long as you've got a job you've got time to look with little risk.

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.

What's the typical time frame after hiring to get assigned to project. It feels extremely weird not to have a client assigned or not be actively pursuing one.

I just had two of the weirdest interview. I was interviewing for a payroll systems mgmt role and the first guy was a finance mgr and he didn't ask me anything. I basically interviewed him. The 2nd interviewer was the hr systems lead. She had read my resume and was super weirded out that my current role is the same as hers. I think she thought I was interviewing to replace her. She kept asking me what I would be doing. Like dude, do you not know why you are even interviewing me? Hard pass.

I've been engaged in the Google SWE interview process for the last couple months. Just got confirmation today I passed Hiring Committee and will go into team matching.

Wanted to know, is an offer likely at this point or is it a coin toss? I am open to most locations and most areas of work aside from cloud and mobile, but am willing to be more flexible if need be.

I'm a brand new attorney (passed the Feb 2021 bar) who started an in-house counsel position a few months ago (where my focus is negotiating agreements for the sale of my company's software). I was a contracts manager on an in-house team for 4 years prior, which is why I was able to go straight in-house. I'm entirely skipping out on firm life, which feels both good and bad. Is there anything I should think about getting experience in? How should I go about making sure I am seeing enough things?
