I swear I see everyone getting new job offers but me. 4 of my friends just got new job offers and I’m so happy for them but also sad for me. I know I shouldn’t compare myself to others but it’s so hard. I really want to leave this job and I hope I get a better offer somewhere else but I don’t even know when/if that’ll happen. Just venting, sorry

at least you come from a firm and have experience! i’ve been not getting any interviews while applying for entry level positions, switching from Industry :(

Agreed. I come from a small niche firm. It’s a struggle to transition or get noticed. I’m going big in my next exit, and only working through referrals. Been trying since Jan, and no luck. But I’m learning a lot.

Don’t compare someone else’s highlight reel to your tape. Never know how close or far you may be to what you want and they probably went through what you feel right now. Take your time, keep working, it’ll come through

I was in the same boat as you over the past few months and felt stuck in my current position. Update your LinkedIn profile and reach out to people in your network for any possible opportunities. If there's a company that you want to work for and you have a connection working there, ask if they can give you a referral. Also, ask your friends to review and provide feedback on your resume/LinkedIn. You got this, keep your head up!

I agree with BCG1. I’ve tried both ways and have either not gotten a response or not gotten a referral

You have to be aggressive in this market. Every desirable role is inundated with resumes.

I see that now! I’m not sure what else to do though. I feel like I’ve done all I can do

Hello, does anyone work as an auto underwriter for insurance? I recently got accepted for an internal job position and was offered $50k. I’m currently a claim processor making $20/hour so the offer is more than what i’m making but is low in comparison to the average salary for an auto underwriter in AZ (which is around $58k). I believe because the company knows how much i’m making they lowballed me. Any tips on how to navigate the salary negotiation and can u share ur salary ?

Is there anyone who’s experienced helping their parents get health insurance? Specifically, they aren’t eligible for Medicare, make too little to qualify for ACA subsidies, and cannot get employer-provided insurance.

Not trying to find loopholes, but given their low-income, would be nice to know if there are programs I’m not finding in my rsch.
