Is the hiring market actually worse right now or does it just feel that way when you are in it? I was laid off three months ago and have submitted 82 applications with only eight recruiter screens. My background aligns with most roles I apply to. What specific change increased your interview rate?

Truly when was it “normal” …?

2019?

It’s all about who you know

Unless you have a personal in somewhere or you work in a very niche specialization, chances are that you will not get a job.

AI chat bots flood the job market from Indians to foreign spies looking to infiltrate tech companies don’t help either.

If I get through processing and go to the CIA for some time, do you think would I be accepted back into patent law later on?

Hey Guys, post any doubts or topics you want to understand will surely try to respond :)

Should I leave my company? Been here 1.5 years and was told I was getting a management promotion 5-6 months ago.Still no solid traction and they are opening up a req for it 😑no one on the current sales team has ever been promoted (2 years)except our boss who has been promoted 3 times. We hit quote every month/q/year by a lot. I have several offers at double my OTE. Already asked what the timeline is for a new manager and I was told soon and I'm "up for consideration." What would you do here?
