Dear diary - It was the best of times. It was the worst of times
Can verify its rough market. I have a pretty good background and still not many interviews from tons of applications.
It’s bad for those without hard skills. Hard skills like engineering and modeling still hold weight.
Hence pre-sales in your title. ;)
If you have a background in accounting or some types of engineering there are still a lot of opportunities available to pivot into.
Anything within corporate treasury or FP&A groups
I'm in Cyber security and joined the firm this year. Applied to about 120-140 jobs before ended up here.
Job market is tough but hang in there! It helps to be open to new industries or even countries, but it's tough but you'll get there!
These posts are ignorant. There’s more white collar jobs than there are people to fill them.
People are just golden handcuffed to the professional services salaries or looking for unicorn tech jobs and then say “there’s no jobs”
There’s plenty of jobs!
Both things can be true. I didn’t say it was the sole factor. You can refuse to acknowledge what I said is in part true, but nonetheless it’s true.
Let this be a lesson that being a professional services lifer limits your exit opportunities the longer you stay. I have been saying this on here for years.

It will be extremely difficult for the job market to improve from here, and you likely won’t see anything better for another generation
With a labor market this tight, the amount of hiring going on, and the number of job openings per applicant, if you can’t find a job within 6-9 months (standard pre pandemic job search time) maybe lower your salary req
Aww someone on this chain couldn’t take hearing the truth and they reported my post. Hilarious, this new generation is all about shutting down that first amendment right! Sad state of affairs. This country will go down hill due to this new weak mindset!

What is your background PWC1?
This is the issue:
Older generation doesn’t have as much saved up > they stay in their jobs longer > there’s less room for the new generation with more demand for the roles > the funnel keeps filling up.
So the question is, who does the company keep for the role? The person that’s been there, the new experienced hire, or the new grad?
What do you do when the funnel is full? That’s the issue being faced right now.
