You can always get a job if you are skilled. The thing is in adverse market conditions you can't demand salary. Employers got upper hand right now.

Word. (I actually wanted to DM you, but you have chats disabled.)

It's challenging but you have to try. Being in school means you'll have some career services support network. Leverage that. You'll have a better shot.

What type of program - undergrad or masters? I’m assuming your studying data analytics?

What kind of experience and location?

It’s possible, just don’t give up. I’m on a visa and graduated in Dec. took me 8 months to land a full time. Actually had secured something in Feb but when I asked for $10k more politely, they withdrew the offer (I was shocked… but I guess it’s an employers market right now)

If your job is not related to your school work, you should do an internship after graduation. It's a chance for employers to test you out.

Hope you all are having a great weekend. Just wanted to share a tip for all of those who are looking to connect with former employees - there is a filter function at Linkedin which allows you to do so (and you can combine that with the filter on location - then you can almost always find at least 2-3 people you can reach out to and ask about the firm and practice group you are thinking of lateralling).

Feel free to share any other tip with the fellow fishes!

Round or exact numbers on banners/LPs? I was curious about this since in negotiations for example or pricing it's better to have the exact number. But if you have a case study, for example, is it better to say "Client X increased their revenue to 1,000,000 ARR" instead of "Client X increased their revenue to 987,500 ARR" ? Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?
