I’m from Europe and trying to get a job in NYC. I’ve moved there for 2 months, and did some informal interviews thanks to some acquaintances. Online applications seems to be unnoticed. Any tips?

Networking events are great to get to know people in the industry. Also do you need a work visa? If yes, agencies will only be able to hire you if you have some awards under your belt so you can qualify for the 0-1.

afraid to say i agree with freelance 1.
agencies are cheap af these days. letting skip that you’ll cover the cost of the visa may help you close this (tho it should just be cosmetic ie you should add the $’s on to your salary deal on the back end if you go that route). different stupid agencies have different stupid rules and obsessions — listen carefully & act pragmatically. just to get hired tho. please don’t be pragmatic again thereafter....

I applied for a position at a creative agency via LinkedIn. I'm not excited about agency work but job hunting hasn't been going well and I applied anyway. They reached out and would like to interview. But when I went to look over the job details again, I found their listing on ZipCruiter gives a pay range, which at their high end is $20k less than my minimum salary reqs. Should I still interview with them? If not, how can I politely reply and decline the interview?

I recently had an interview with the hiring manager and they did 95% of the talking. It was the weirdest interview I’ve ever had. I didn’t know whether to interrupt and get a question and some comments in or stay quiet and listen. I couldn’t even gauge how it went. Has this happened to you.?
Also on average how many jobs do people typically interview for before they get an offer?

Hi everyone, hoping and wondering if I could get any help with the deal memo part for O1 ? It’s hard explaining the recruiters about it.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!

While giving the tech interview as well as while having the HR discussion, I mentioned my expected CTC as 9-10 LPA(CTC). I cleared the interview and uploaded all the documents in the portal yesterday. Today mrng all the document verification was completed. But when I got the call for offer discussion, she asked what u expect. I said 9-10 LPA. She questioned me that on what basis I am asking for this much hike. She offered me 6.3 LPA as CTC with 21% variable. 5.2 as basic. Rest part in comments..
