I started applying for jobs in July. I've been on more than 6 screening calls and 3 zoom interviews and havent landed a job yet. I feel so burned out at work and want to leave KPMG. Motivation/ positive vibes? Hitting a burn out from applying too.

Same here, been seriously looking for industry jobs for 1 month now, got 2 screening calls and 1 to the final round but probably not getting an offer. Is the job market really this competitive?

Yeah, very competitive! Good to hear we're on the same boat.

I’m in the same boat it’s just a bad market particularly with layoffs. Keep your chin up.

Hi Fishes,
My total experience is 5 in QA, I attended Deloitte interview. First round was technical and it went quite well, they asked lot of theory questions. I answered few and quite I was not sure of answers. She gave feedback like my communication and confidence level is good and project wise I'm having good knowledge and coming to concept wise it's not upto the mark for experience. So my query is will they call me for next round?I really wanna get selected since Deloitte is mydream company

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.

My post is for a lot of folks here who complain about managers not budging to negotiations and not offering package ,what you are expecting.I have one thing to say,there are lot of ibm employees who moved to kyndryl. Inspite of lot of contributions they are earning meagre salary.Now do you expect these people to hire you for more package most of time the package you are demanding is more than what these managers draw. So pls do not look at kyndryl as any other startup.Thanks.
