What are your thoughts getting “cold invites” on LinkedIn and having the new connection almost immediately shoot you a dm about a job they saw in your company ?

I don’t mind them, but recommend doing some research to identify the right person. I get about 50 messages a week for jobs I’m not the recruiter for. General rule of thumb - apply first, then reach out via LinkedIn or email.

I'd like to know this as well? How to locate the correct recruiter/hiring manager.. And, how to go around contact the recruiter/manger of the listed job on LinkedIn when you don't have a premium account when one is required?

Thanks! The the struggle is finding out who to reach out to. On LinkedIn they sometimes have the contact but larger companies sometimes don’t

Hello Fishes,

I have job offer from two of the big4s. One is PWC SDC Kolkata and another is KPMG Global.

KPMG is offering 1.5 lakhs extra in fixed pay and 1.5 lakhs as joining bonus.

However in PWC SDC they have shift allowance of 700/day(not mentioned in offer letter).

I am bit confused amongst two. Please share your thoughts and guide me to choose the right one considering Work life Balance, Career growth, Exposure etc.

As a recent college graduate looking for entry level work in acct mgmt or new business, what’s the best way to stand out/get hired?

Not sure if this is the right bowl. I’ve 8 years of agency/client media experience all the way up to director and looking to move to the ad tech side. Particularly looking into Amazon. Any advice or things to look for? The titles don’t seem to really relate to roles like they tend to do in advertising.

TITLES / Been working multiple permalance jobs for years and would like to go brand side. ECD in a former life, but been working as a CD or ACD depending on the need. Do I look more attractive as multiple CD positions, or ACD? I've done well for myself, but will never see the $1500 rates that are thrown around here. I worry that recruiters see the CD labels and think that I want the big money.

Any suggestions? Anybody that might be willing to have an informational conversation with him?

How would you prioritize these task in order:

1. review 15 new applications for a top priority position
2.answer a question from a HM regarding a candidate he would like to interview
3. Catch up on emails from hiring managers
4. schedule a final interview
5. source 30 candidates as no one else can do it that day
6. Send check in emails to candidated waiting to hear back after an interview
7. Finish hiring process for candidate before sending out job offer
