I was recently part of a restructure that eliminated my entire group. Some got jobs within 2 weeks of the layoff, others it took a month, I start my new gig next week and there are still some looking. I also have friends who have been out of work for upwards to a year. I'm looking for advice on how to announce my news. I don't want to rub it in for those still looking.

Is it necessary to announce it?

I'd post it on LinkedIn and not over think too much. Friends will be happy for you and reach out/comment as they're comfortable.

You could use it as an opportunity to provide hope and encouragement for those still searching. So it serves two purposes. Announcing your position and letting the job hunters know that something positive could be just around the corner. Even reading your post now shows you weren’t the fastest but you’re not the slowest yo find work which is a great point of reference.

I see it as hope! Def list it. What field? Or did you transition roles? The reality is some PM’S don’t have great interview skills. I remember I left a toxic remote role. Within a month I landed a second remote position. Granted they were only freelance. I’m starting a business so I didn’t want anything demanding. It’s either resume or interviewing skills most recruiters will tell you.

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.

I have an interview tomorrow with a recruiter who contacted me through LinkedIn. I believe I am way under-qualified for the position and I pointed that out to her, but she responded with several points from my resume as to why she believes the role is a good fit with my experience. It would be a leap, but maybe I need to take it as a challenge and not limit myself? I just don’t want to get in over my head and fall flat on my face. What are some questions I could ask during the first interview?

Please let me know whether I should go ahead with accepting the offer.
