It brings a level of credibility depending on where you are. Certain settings will always be more revered than others. You could say that for certain companies as well in the past. You have specific names on the resume, and you were looked at favorably. Although I do see that changing more now.

Yep
Industry doesn’t care about the same things and because the money comes from results the motivation is different

I found Google and Facebook recruiters to be efficient and TikTok so-so, if not a little slow, but 6 days+ seems poor.

Hey all, having issues with interviewing this year. I’ve been passed over every opportunity I really want and I’m unsure how to regroup and move forward. I’m really trying to break into method development roles and I haven’t had the opportunity to do so with my analytical experience. A lot of my HPLC and LCMS experience is with already established methods. Any tips?
