Job hunting while currently employed is incredibly frustrating and a second job in itself. You can't post on LinkedIn about looking for new opportunities and you're likely going to get ghosted by a company after you interview 3-4 times. What gives? Is the market especially brutal right now or am I incompetent?

It's not a you problem. The current job market is awful. I used to be able to line up multiple interviews within a week of starting to job search. I've only gotten a handful of interview requests after months of searching.

It's brutal for sure. Job hunting feels like a whole job. Network off of LinkedIn and tap into your network. A referral or warm intro goes a long way. Your opportunity is out there. Just remember that if they ghost you, it wasn't the right one.

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.

Anyone have any good Straterra experiences?

Does anyone have any insight into partners retiring early? I am at a point where I need to consider leaving if I am not aiming for partner. I don’t see myself working past my 40s. My partner and I are not big spenders and anticipate have enough to retire comfortably in 40s (obviously a lot can change). I have been assured I will become SM in next year (currently 31 years old).
