Is the market really bad right now or am I just getting no interviews from job applications because I suck?!

And good is a bit relative. Some audiences will think you walk in water while others won’t look 2x. Even when you are good it’s a numbers game.

How’s your portfolio? I refreshed most of my site a couple months back and it’s definitely helped.

Awesome. Good luck on your search!

Probably depends on where you live as well, but definitely a rough market. Most companies I know including my own froze hiring 😞

You may already be doing this - but one benefit may be more access to out of state jobs that are now remote.

That’s a good point, I’m going to keep my eye open for those too!

I think different job types are trying to recover from the pandemic at different rates. I’ve noticed it’s been slow to pick back up for graphic design in particular though.

It also might have something to do with where you are and how many jobs are available there when the market is more “normal.” Everything is super competitive right now because so many people are unemployed.

A lot of places are hiring for remote positions and are open to hiring from different states. So even if you’re somewhere like NYC or SF where there are normally loads of opportunities, it couldn’t hurt to apply to places outside of your city?

I’m in NYC so I would assume there are still plenty of positions, but also plenty more unemployed so makes sense. I’m going to start looking into some remote positions out of state too! Thank you.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps.

Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.

The employer said I will be paid weekly but now after my first week, he said that they have to skip a week to align with the payroll.

And that he will be paying me from his personal account till they set up everything as a new business in the country.
