I've been taking a break this whole month from applying to jobs. It was slowly killing me, and I needed to reflect on what changes to make. Was that a mistake, or am I on the right track? As a recruiter, when do you say I should resume efforts?

Permit yourself to take shorter breaks so you don’t get to that point. A couple of days off here and there is better than a whole month. Getting started again will be tough, but I can understand where you are at, too. Job searching is mentally draining.

I’ll be honest—I’d love to take a break, but I need a job like yesterday. I don’t know if taking a break was a mistake, but I’d definitely jump back in if the right role came up. The job market doesn’t seem to be getting any better.

It is better to take a break if you have some backup but if would suggest to look into jobs if you are actively looking and do not have regular job

As long as you dont slack in prep and prework, it should be fine either way

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺
