So, at my workplace (university), we're essentially eliminating any full-time position if it's not currently filled. Which, I get it...we're going into a retrenchment period...but I think someone to run the tutoring center (for example) is one of those positions we might want to fill and not eliminate, you know? Anyone else running into situations like this? Are you feeling the recession pressure?

Yes, my workplace is seriously cracking down on hiring. Not yet a freeze, but definitely scaling back. It's challenging when someone from the top unilaterally decides which positions to cut without having real insight as to their importance.

You see, the problem is that you're in higher ed. Higher ed is a mess even in the best of times.

Any LA consultants looking to become ex-consultants? Hiring for a couple roles at my incredible company/team based in LA. One role is more general corp strategy type work (4-8 YE) the other is data analytics focused (SQL exp. needed, 1-4 YE). Financial services experience preferred but not required. Company pays very well and culture is much better than anywhere I have ever worked previously (esp. pwc). DM if interested and I can provide much more info!

While negotiating the offer the recruiter came back to me and said "We’re working through headcount planning right now. The position you applied to is closed". Looks like a hiring freeze.

If the same company is hiring for two very similar but different positions and you qualify for both, do you apply to both? Additional caveat is that I interviewed for one of them last week. No word yet on whether I made it to the next round. Would gladly accept either position, but not sure how it would look if I apply for the second position while still being considered for the first. On the flip side, I don't want to miss the window on the second position while waiting to hear back...thoughts?

I just hear everyone obsessed with rankings but tbh in 10 years, outside say Harvard, they will have changed. My Alma mater undergrad was a top 20 school that has fallen for example.

Other schools that I didn't even consider have risen up.

Hey everyone, looking for some advice. I’ve been working as a RC for a tech company for 15 months making 45k (I know I’m underpaid) and I’m looking to pivot. I feel really burnt out in this role and would love to transition to something else, perhaps another department. I don’t really want to be in an entry level role again, so what kinds of jobs should I be looking at where I can transfer over my skills easily? I also have customer service experience but would love to stay away from that. TIA!
