Probably bad time to switch to another consulting firm, but what about some industries? There are probably some safer companies to be at

If you can stay, stay. Many companies are going to institute hiring freezes soon, similar to 2008. The market is tanking, companies’ cash flow will be dramatically impacted, and reduce hiring is the fastest way to stop the bleeding. Even if individual companies aren’t impacted leaders will err on the side of caution in uncertain situations

I am looking for a new job and frustrated 😠 about the slow progress. Anyone with me? I think I am doing just about everything from hiring a resume builder to networking with hiring managers. Non-linear career track, "short" experience and having worked in non-target companies.. can translate to well-rounded, drive for growth and deeper involvement due to smaller teams. Hire me!! #justventing :)

I’m in discussions to become the GC of a mid size but international company that does ~$1 billion in annual revenue. Smallish legal department. They’ve asked for my comp expectations. I don’t have specific expectations but I want to be compensated at least market for a NYC based GC (which looks like cash comp of at least $300k plus bonus, etc). Any suggestions on how people would respond?
