I love where I live - nice weather, close to beach, lots of things to do. The downside is that while at my current level, there are a lot of opportunities (Senior Analyst/Manager) there isn't much beyond that. I'm a bit concerned with my future outlook. Has anyone dealt with this? Did you have to move?

I haven't had to move yet but I've been stuck at my level for about 3 years now. I have been wanting to move but this job market is putting fear into my soul.

Where do you live? Sometimes you do have to move to open up more career opportunities for yourself. I have experienced that in my own life.

Pros and cons. I live in a smaller area now, but for me, what it lacks in career opportunities, it makes up for in other ways. I drive more miles to work, but traffic is a breeze, so I actually save time when I lived in a bigger city. Cost of living is significantly less as well, so while I make less, it just evens out for me.

It’s tough when you love where you live but the career growth just isn’t there. I haven’t had to move yet, but I’ve definitely thought about whether long-term growth might eventually push me to.

You have to weigh up the pros and cons. Your personal life is a huge part of your life too, and if you have to move somewhere you don’t like as much to get more money / climb the ladder it may not be worth it!

These numbers are really irrelevant unless you know the agency. It would take a lot less dough to get me into w+k than say, a Translation or similar.

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

Disney Streaming Services I completed my interview process with DSS early last week, and was reached out by recruiter that all rounds were strong hires, and they are extending an offer.

Would I still have chance to be offered?

Is this going to affect my hike, bonus?. This is my first review at the firm. Please help.

I'm the only employee with a background in finance in a tech startup growing at a 300%+ per year. But it's actually my first finance-related experience (interned and now part-time as I'm in my senior year of undergrad) and don't know really how to have an impact as my knowledge is "limited" and have no technical mentorship.

Any advice/mentorship would be wonderful!

There is this big bank where I'd love to work at, and after several interviews for various positions they end up promoting someone from within, even thou I understand it and think it’s good they promote their people, it left me feeling like I'm just being used to comply with the process.

Should I decline the offer and ask to be considered for a higher role that better fits my qualifications? The offer I had was with a great bank but I'm overqualified for that. Its been hard to find a job because I dont have prior experiences.
