Is it worth it applying for jobs during this holiday or are all recruiting managers going to be inundated with resumes/applications?

I feel like it doesn't matter when you apply because they probably are hiring for multiple positions and dedicate certain times of the week to check the queue of resumes (vs. every day). I think the follow up email will be more helpful!

^ --- figured as much. This bottle of wine I'm working on finishing, had me thinking inefficiently..

Yeah I'll be applying to a ton of jobs this weekend too OP! Nothing wrong with it. Better to get it submitted before they close the listing

Do you continue to see in-flight interview processes through once you’ve received and accepted an offer? It feels premature to cut the chord on the others, but also the decision between the companies becomes harder. Also afraid of the possibility to go back on the acceptance of the one role in favor of another.

How do find a recruiter in the legal field? Have been looking for a job for a year now and trying to transition into another practice area. Applied to more than 20 jobs and still no offers. I feel like I might need some help.
Also, I have no idea how these arrangements work. Do you pay the recruiter to look for the jobs or do you pay them when you get the job? Or does the employer pay them?

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

I had my Assessor interview this past week and received a pre-screening questionnaire that asked about dual citizenship status.

I applied through a career fair at school and didn't see the citizenship requirements, so I guess that's on me.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.
