I wanted to share my job search experience honestly.

I’ve applied to 300+ companies through Indeed and LinkedIn, but unfortunately, I’m still struggling to secure a job. In most cases, I don’t even receive a callback or any response, which can be quite discouraging.

There was one opportunity where I cleared the interview process and was hopeful, but even then, I wasn’t hired in the end. Situations like these make the process even more challenging and confusing.

I’m actively looking for job

I’m trying to pivot to PM after >3 years in finance and I have a 2nd round interview with CPO this week. Company has 3.7 on Glassdoor with complaints about CEO, “bro-y” culture, and hard to wfh. It’s a data analytics company with 5 PMs, was bought by a PE firm this year, and has a new (female) CEO as of Oct. Role is 50/50 hybrid, pays well vs what I make, and most importantly would be a foot in the door to PM. Is this a good place to be for PM? What else do I need to find out to know for sure?

Hi everyone,

One thing we haven’t spoken about are your salary expectations. Could you have a think and let me know early next week as well as your employment status (residency permit)."

What would be the best way to answer this response? Appreciate the help
