Pretty sure I lost a job offer to someone who knew someone within the company, I’m sure this happens all the time but still frustrating. Can anyone relate?

Whats the frustrating part. That guy put in the work and got a relationship. Would you rather go through 700 candidates? You need to learn from this and do the same.

Hello fishes,

I have 6 and half YOE in front end development. (angular and hybrid applications). I joined my current organization ( product based) in Feb for 24LPA. The work here is too stressful and there is absolutely zero WLB. So I decided to start looking out again. However I am not getting good interview calls. Are most companies not hiring now ? Or could it because my CTC is too high ?

What title for this job description?
I want to switch roles from a creative director who oversees all aspects of the company’s creative (marketing campaigns and brand building mostly; also production, performance marketing ads, product design, managing design team) to focusing 100% on building our brand, educating both customers and employees about our value prop. I hate managing people or logistics and scheduling. What would this role be called? Do you see it as demotion from CD?

Also would leaving IBM after 1 year look bad on CV?
