Is it just me or is the market really bad? I’ve been a top candidate for my industry for nearly 20 years but wa slayed off due to downsizing. Since that layoff (3 years ago) I’ve only been able to secure short term project or consulting roles. I search and apply for long term roles daily and can’t even get to the interview stage. Even after reducing my salary expectations to by 30%.

I’d appreciate any advice

Certainly not you Brett - the market's been very tough as of late.

Not sure if this is helpful, but are you part of any industry association groups? Great sources of networking and referrals for roles.

Hi #Urgent

Got the Offer Letter from 
Citi upon accepting I also received the Background Verification (BGV) mail.

which says I need to provide the relieving letter/experience letter. But the thing is I have not received it (it will take some time). I only have resignation acceptance letter.

Can we still proceed for bgv process and tell Citi that I will provide the relieving letter later on when i get it.

(already passed my LWD: 2nd nov)

(1/2) Hi all, based in the UK 🇬🇧, would appreciate your advice on how I could break into product management.

Should I be applying for product analyst roles? Should I apply for strategy consulting? Could I go straight for prod mgmt roles?
