I’ve been on the bench since being laid off in May due to Covid. I continue to get interviews and final rounds, however nothing solid has closed. How screwed am I?

I’ve been out of work since mid July too - I’ve been talking to 15 people a week / grinding to find something and it’s netted me 60 interviews so far. There’s opportunity out there - keep hunting

Painful, toughest job market I have seen...

In first half of this July, I was sentenced to resign till the end of September because of this COVID.
I was really really scared on that day cuz i was less experienced than others ,second year as a businessman.But on the next day, I started communicating with agents while working remotely. In the end, at the end of this August, I got offered with higher total comp and better environment in the same place.
What I wanna tell you the most is if all the processes are over, the hardest time youre now experiencing is gonna be no importance and trivial thing in your while life.

So I recently interviewed for an associate PM role with my current company. I’ve been a store manager with them for 11 years. During the interviews, I felt like things were growing great and the feedback I got at the end was great. You’d think given my time knowing the product/ company for so long, that I’d be a great fit but I got rejected and haven’t gotten feedback probably will get ghosted. Should I shoot my shot and advocate for myself with the hiring manager either way?

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon

Hi Fishes,

Can anyone tell me how many rounds of interview are there in
JPMorgan Chase & Co?

I had only 1 round as of now, it was with the Process head VP along with the person I will be reporting (if got selected)

It's been almost 4 days since I had that interview; however, no feedback has been shared with me.

I can see that my profile/application is under review for basic requirements.

Should I consider my profile as reject?

Any thoughts/guidance would be highly appreciated.

Thank you

Hello, hoping for some input on how to time a job change. At a startup - we are doing well now but unless we have complete turnover in management I don’t think we have a bright future post-COVID. I could coast here 1-2 years before having to look. I’ve been here for a little under a year. This is my second in house job after 10 years at the same firm. The market is hot now, probably won’t be in 1-2 years and I am getting interest for good roles. OTOH I don’t want to look like a job hopper.
