I've been job hunting for 6 months, and it's frustrating. Most openings are either for top bosses or low-paying lab tech gigs with no benefits. I was thinking the job market would improve, but maybe I'm just too hopeful. Either way, I'm glad I didn't quit my old job, even though I'm miserable. Is anyone else having any luck finding new jobs?

Been searching for past 9 months but 25% of those roles always seem to “disappear” or “reevaluated” based on the email I’ve gotten back. Very interesting time

a year later .. +500 applicationsand still in the job hunting .. its brutal out there 😭

I’ve been searching since October, 9 months and only now have gotten an offer. I am sorry

TCS Hr revised my ctc to 27.5lpa from 24lpa for C3A band & shared ctc break up. I negotiated asking him to revise the fixed comp to 26lpa & JB. He said that he would try for fixed comp of 26lpa but no JB. Later he came back saying he can't get an approval for 28lpa & asking me if I'm okay with 24lpa & he would try to get 24lpa also if possible. Is he trying to get the ctc down or does he can't get approval? How do I get him to give the 27.5lpa break up offer? YOE:9y6m Role:Infra ManagerTata Cons

I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏
