I’ve been trying to find a IT role in Boston for the past year and a half. I am currently a DevOps engineer but I’ve been looking to move to Boston but looking for a job has been tough. I am looking for any advice or mentorship or anything at this point.

Market is general right now is rough. The best advice is to use your network, or just reach out and network with people, at target companies in Boston. Its a long process where you get to know more about the orgs, what they are dealing with, and what the opportunities are. Once you find someone that you vibe with, and you have had a couple conversations with, then you ask them to refer you to a role that you have scoped out (through the networking). Then you can have a perfectly tailored resume plus an internal referral for that specific role.

Hi Fishes,
My LWD in Wipro (my previous employer) was on 21 Aug, 2021. I was waiting to receive my outstanding due and experience certificate, as part of F&F, ever since. However, I received an email from the offboarding team today stating that my Final Settlement is on on hold due to security concerns (DLP: data leakage). How is this going to play out? And much longer will it take before my F&F process is completed and I get my outstanding due and my experience certificate? Pls advice.
