I'm about to graduate from my MSc Economics course in three months and the placements this year are bad.
I'm looking forward to apply directly for the roles of analyst and associate consultants. When should I start applying when I am graduating in last week of May? And any company recommendations to start my career?

You should start applying right away, because it gives you two advantages..

1. If you get early offer - peace of mind..
2. Explore better opportunities w.r.t to numbers

You can apply in analytics roles initially ( good stable startups (like My Sigma) , later move to big firms in consulting roles purely)

Do companies wait this long for someone to join? I won't be able to start working full time before June

It depends on how you convince the HR..! For example, you can,...

1. use the logic of 3 month notice period that's common in the market.
2. Join early - ie the next day after final exam and you'll submit the docs in June..

Depending on case to case basis.

Thank you!

Received an offer as Engagement Director from Salesforce (CSG, pre sales, L9). Great benefits package, 40% increase in total comp and better WLB.

I do love the people in my practice and current client, but career trajectory has stalled after taking parental leave earlier this year and (yet another) change in leadership.

Realistically, making to Director is 2-3 years away and will require sacrificing time with my family that I am not prepared to give up.

Should I stay or should I go?

Do recruiters and Hiring Managers actually review and read resumes? Also tech companies that sell SaaS, what is it with the requirements of having 10 years or more if technical sales experience?

The company hasn’t had any new sales either. Start up CEO’s… be realistic or seek enough funding to operate.

Lot of fear in the market right now (understandably so). The situation in Ukraine is awful and the potential consequences are scary to think about.

There are some who want to sell in fear of their investments falling further. Do not do this. Hold and continue to buy more. Continue your 401k contributions, and add whatever you can afford after every paycheck into your brokerage. Those who sold the covid crash were often late buying back in.

This is the dip you're worried about.
