Is anyone else getting completely ghosted by recruiters after a seemingly perfect portfolio review? I put so much into prepping and creating my portfolio, I wish a quick status update would be a basic courtesy.

I've also seen it that some people are not the hiring managers, so they do the interview and assume the hiring manager will take it from there, but don't close the loop internally, so everyone is waiting and not communicating next steps.

I've had to follow-up to get info, but never completed ghosted once I've had a recruiter screenings. You aren't the only ball they are juggling, after a week of no news, it's perfectly acceptable to send a quick note asking for an update on the position and timeline.

Yes. I think that they don’t want to lose you as an option so they don’t close the loop but things internally changed for them.

Yeah I just had an agency do this to me. I sent them a follow-up email a week later and they just ghosted.

Is there an easy/efficient way to figure out how much you've contributed to vs earned in your Roth accounts?

The purpose of doing this is I want to use $10K of it, but want to prove that the $10K is from my contribution.

My partner of 5 years ended our relationship last night. I’m shattered and feel absolutely sick, and I know the healing isn’t going to be easy. We were on the verge of an engagement and I was ready to spend the rest of my life with him.

I don’t know how to approach work during this time. I think I can get by, but I’m definitely not 100%. Should I talk to my boss about it? My team is close-knit and comfortable around each other, but I don’t know if it’s “appropriate.” What would you do?

Should I leave my first permanent job as a team leader of 4 DPs in a FMCG business (only been there for 4 months) to join a huge Tech business for a 12months contract?

They offer me 60% more money than my permanent role. Circa 2000 dollars every month in my pocket

However, I am worried if I accept the tech role and I do not become permanent I will be looking again for a job in 12-24 months and my CV won't be showing a managerial position. Won't be showing any progress.
