Should I bother applying to jobs now or should I wait until after the holidays? I was planning on using the holiday downtime to send out resumes but feel like it might get lost in the flood of emails HR needs to sift through in Jan. Am I just overthinking it or should I wait?

Try cold emailing or messaging people on LinkedIn people may be less focused on work but willing to have a helpful conversation about potential openings that they will focus on filling in the new year. I usually try to guess who may be the hiring manager for a specific opening and will message them.

I received an offer from IBM Bangalore. However I saw openings at my preferred location Kochi only after the interviews. I called the HR after getting their point of contact mail and I asked if it's possible to switch. They said I'm already tagged to a project and that they'll check from their end if it can be done.

Anyone knows the chances of location being changed after receiving the offer and getting tagged to a project?

I have not yet accepted the offer.
