I have many years of experience in the insurance field. I have been laid off before, but I managed to navigate the job-search maze and find my way back. This year has been challenging. A new phenomenon to me is 'ghosting'. I hardly get responses from companies, recruiters, or even my network. It is hard to adjust without feedback. I feel I am operating in a vacuum. Have any others had the same experience this year? Any ideas to overcome? Thank YOU for not ghosting me. Genuinely appreciated!

The whole phenomenon of ghosting does seem to have become quite common. It's one of those behaviors that people would have been ashamed to exhibit years ago, and now it has somehow become normalized. All anyone can do is stay persistent and just keep moving ahead, whether there's any reaction or feedback forthcoming.

PwC India Hi folks,

I graduated with Master studies in business at Singapore, and recently moved to India. I am currently looking for a consultant role in strategy functions at big4 in India. Here in India, most of the roles in MC & strategy advisory fills through referrals and campus recruitment, and not posting on the websites. I’d like to connect with people at big4 strategy functions for referrals and to know more about the firms operations

Thanks!

I am currently a civil engineer thinking of switching to software engineering. I got my masters in water resource engineering where I was coding a decent amount for assignments and it has really stuck with me. Unfortunately, in my current role and field (civil), I don’t really get to do much coding. Does anyone have a similar experience of jumping ship to do software engineering? What would be the best way to go about it (coding bootcamp, another degree, something else)?
