Graduate from HSW MBA program 🙄 all the LinkedIn stalking I’ve done for that company (non tech roles) seems like they only hire from top programs. Kind of elitist..

Interesting, I've applied there loads and never gotten anything. Guess my degrees just aren't enough!

What role did you apply for? Besides a referral and making LinkedIn connect, it's difficult to get that insight on the application

I got an interview last year for a marketing role because it was a bit specialized. I only have a bachelors from a public university.

Doubt I would get an interview now because they get in hundreds of applications for every role they have. I’ve never seen a company get so many applications. You basically have to be a super human to get a job there now, or get a referral because the competition is stiff.

it also looks like their about to lose a lot of money if these artists keep pulling out cuz of joe Rogan scandal — which means they have even less money to hire.

Ford is having the same thing with BEV transitioning. Lots of employees being fired…

Hello People,

I received a verbal offer letter from
Oracle. I said yes and things moved on. BGV was initiated as well. BUT, Yesterday I received a call from the hiring manager that Oracle is putting hiring freeze, so they are not able to release offer letter as 1 approval was still pending from the VP. He said I will be contacted once freeze is over. Do you think I still have any chances of getting in once the freeze is lifted and how long the freezes are in Oracle ? Oracle

I’m a Junior product manager with a Master’s in Healthcare Management. I feel like the current company that I am at has my title as JPM, but I am doing PM work i.e creating product roadmaps, collaborating across stakeholders (business, marketing, design teams), creating user stories/features, etc. and I feel like my work isn’t being valued and I’m constantly being micromanaged by business teams expectations.

How feasible is it for me to apply to a PM role with less than a year of experience?

I was interested to go CA but scared in terms of job security, economic slowdown and a big change. Is it worth going to CA on contract basis job declining the full time opportunity in India.

Need advice. Currently at $142k base. 3 years and 1 month left before I max out of H1b. Just got my PWD issued through current employer though their immediate reaction is subtly letting me know they’re not in a hurry to start recruitment. Got an offer today for $160k base. Similar role, both are good teams, etc. Do I politely decline and see my GC process through or accept and get more money? Feel like current employer will drag their feet as long as they can for retention purposes.

Second year associate, started at a new firm recently and got put on a fast paced transaction. Made mistakes (drafting errors and tardiness to a call) that feel irredeemable… although no one has scolded me yet. As we move into next phase of the transaction the senior associate on the deal asked to meet 1-1 to discuss “logistics” and “my time/role” on the transaction. . .

Any advice on how to handle in the instance that I receive negative feedback during this conversation?
