Those Job Hunting, how is the market feeling? Do you sense companies are starting to ramp back up hiring? Or recovery hasn't started yet?

Hiring is picking up but the competition is insane

I just got hired. It was right place, right time, someone got eyes on my resume. I applied through LinkedIn and didn’t know anyone there. I get the feeling a lot of companies are posting just for HR reasons and if you don’t apply right away you’re in bad shape as a lot of postings get 100 respondents within a day or two

Same with me. Also keywords in the resumes. So damn annoying but they are really looking for key words. I worked for a large competitive agency of theirs so I teased that out more than I normally would.

Definitely starting to pick back up but more than ever it is going to be imperative to have an internal reference, most listings I see on LinkedIn hit the 200+ applicants in under 24 hours

I’m seeing selective postings and we just made a hire - I would say slow and selective ramp back up.

The hiring hasn’t been consistent, constant hire and freeze going on the last few months, we are all overworked right now cause others in the network aren’t doing so hot

Depending on your skill set many are being actively recruited. I get probably four or so messages from recruiters a week.

Recruiters don’t have any jobs. They’re liars. They’re just feeling out the market and trying to meet their call quotas. Source: I have several friends who work in recruiting and TA.

Have an offer from a dream company but I'll need to go in at a lower level. Knowing that I can bring a lot of value to the company (read- I know my worth), I negotiated with the hiring manager to have a level/comp review 6 months after employment. If I hit all my goals (ie, prove myself) within that time frame, I'll get a promotion and salary adjustment.
QUESTIONS:
Should this be in writing in the offer letter?
How detailed should it be? I assume I won't know what goals to set till I start...

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?
