I’m really struggling with when to know to finally start applying for jobs with higher salaries, I’ve been in full time work for 4 years now but there’s a feeling of I haven’t learned anything! When do you think it’s time to try progress?

4 years is more than enough time. Most people leave their first job around this mark. Stop giving imposter syndrome real estate in your brain and start applying. You're more competent and ready than you think.

That’s great to hear thank you! I’ll start having some lore confidence in my abilities.

When you are feeling like you aren’t progressing or do not have the opportunity to do what you’d like. It’s time to see what’s out there for you. Never know until you start looking.

True I guess you have to take the leap first!

It doesn't hurt to try. At worst, you won't get any offers but at least you'll gain interview experience. At best, you'll find something better.

Very true the worst you can hear is ‘no’.

Start now. You can do it!

Thank you I will!

been in industry (small companies) for 5 years with an active CPA. Wanted to get in SEC reporting roles but almost every company requires 2-year public accounting exp. Now applying for public accounting firms entry level positions but almost all firms HR asked if I had ever worked in firms. Got rejection emails from firms all the time. Is this a dead lock? firms exp matters much more than a CPA license?

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Hi everyone,
Does the gap of one month will affect job opportunities or interview calls for IT jobs especially in current market scene?

I have recently given interview at Microsoft.
HR provided the feedback as I am not rejected bit not fit for the role so they have put me in talent plus pool. What should I expect next and does this mean that I may get the offer ?

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer.

There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?
