I'm especially fascinated at people in advertising who think that people looking for a job shouldn't use the LinkedIn "Open to Work" banner.

I have to say that recruiters for both good shops and meh shops hit me up more often with it on
i kind of doubt that a recruiter worth even two pennies would care that the banner is on.

We don't care and by using it, you appear on our radar sooner which makes our jobs easier. Really in current times with so many out jobs in our industry. Pride is why people don't use it.

Has LinkedIn done studies on its efficacy? I love the intent but anecdotally, I see the same people with it month after month. I’m curious though

Exactly. I’ve been seeing them 6 months. I don’t think it means recruiters reach out to you first. Job request are still being filled by who is qualified, culture fit, referrals, etc

like

True but many of us have landed back to back roles without using it. I think it’s a personal preference. Open to work doesn’t mean recruiters are reaching out to them first. It’s a preference.

Let's be real - this industry looks at that and cynically thinks "oh they got let go because they're not quality talent."

Hi
I have received an offer from a company and I'm in the second stage of interviews with another company. I am very interested to see if I could make it through for the second company. So can I accept the offer from first company and then if second one also sends an offer then let the first company know I would like to reject? Also i am on H1B visa. Should I be concerned with that?

Bain & Company Is it truly easier to get in a smaller MBB office?

Have heard a lot for different opinions on these. The logic is that it’s easier because there is a lot of supply in cities like NY, Chicago and SF, but the counter argument is that the offices with less supply are also way smaller and have a lot less demand.
