If I were to start job searching with a recruiter, should I tell them the honest reason why I’m searching? I never want to speak poorly about a current/previous employer. In this situation, we’ve been acquired by a company that has made my job much harder than it was. I’m losing confidence in myself & my work product. My fear is if I go elsewhere, this company will end up acquiring them too. I know it can’t be 100% predicted, but don’t want to be in the same boat again soon!

I think there are a lot of different ways you can say things. Finding a professional way to voice your concerns is something I’d try to do. Asking about any current or in the works plans for whatever new company could be helpful. Never know what will happen is right, so that does make it difficult.

Here is my idea for a startup! I collect all the data from career transitions and use Data Analytics to predict the most likely career transitions. I could start with consulting. What do you guys think about this? I would be able to predict based on your firm(mbb, big4), your experience, which role you are likely to move (Faang pm, strategy manager, move to mbb). I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?

Hi guys, I have got one full time job for 14LPA from 10.5LPA in Coforge for BA role. On the other hand, I have one more offer for Canada and the job is on 2 years contract basis with 80k CAD per annum where I have to sign 2 years agreement as well that I can’t back out once I get the offer. I was interested to go CA but scared in terms of job security, economic slowdown and a big change. Is it worth going to CA on contract basis job declining the full time opportunity in India.
