I’ve applied for over 100 relevant jobs in the last year that have all ended in rejection. I’ve had several interviews, as many as seven conversations plus strategy assignments for some roles. I’m not asking for more money than they are willing to pay for my level of experience; I’m asking recruiters to provide the salary range first and agreeing to it. I’ve worked my network, gotten referrals & spent a lot of money on a career coach. So I’m feeling pretty sad and defeated. Any words of advice?

I feel the same way. Don’t give up. It’s harder to get offers when you’re more senior, there’s a lot more scrutiny when the salary is higher. Eventually something great is going to materialize. The right opportunity at the right time. 🙏 wishing us both luck!

What’s your line of work / what role are you looking for?

If you’re looking for remote jobs, I’ve noticed (in general) they tend to pay way way less as a trade off for the flexibility. If not, have you considered freelancing? It’s a great way to try out a new company and vice versa.

I’m currently employed and can’t technically freelance on the side without quitting my job.

Hi All, I have an urgent query regarding TCS BGC process. My issue is that I have worked in X, Y and Z companies.
In X company I worked for 26months but my pf account is there for last 13months, before that my salary was very low so sometimes I got salary in hand or in pay cheque. I do have salary account statement for most of the months except 3-4 months in between my tenure. Will I face any issue for this?
Note: I do have good relationship with X company.
Please give your valuable suggestions.
