Thoughts on career changing and joining a headhunting/executive recruitment firm? I feel like it won't be super hard for me to start building a book of business with my current network. Anyone with experience?

I interned at an executive search firm and on top of being mind numbing and boring, it's also essentially an extra difficult sales role because you're trying to sell the candidate and the company to each other.

I’m an older female CD/writer. Good at my job. Challenge is, I don’t have an art partner and can’t find one. At our agency, you’re paired up to CD. I don’t know if it’s my age or sex, but I’m hurt.

Please help me decide which company I should join from the below options:
1. CVENT - Analyst - CTC 9.6 LPA
2. METLIFE - Consultant - Analytics - CTC 10.3 LPA

Cctc: 7-8 lpa

Please if someone know about both companies, let me know about wlb and learning.

Thanks in advance

Do we try to secure jobs first, or do we just try to live there and find a job once we’re there. He works in a kitchen as a cook and I work in Graphic design. Any advise is appreciated

Hi, I’m in need of some salary negotiation advice (continued)

Hi Team,

TCS has released the offer letter for me & my doj is on 30th Jan which I chose. My current employer is ready to release me early and my lwd is 30th November.

I am confused whether I should join on 30th Jan or I should talk to HR for early joining. Also, there are rumours that Indian MNCs are cancelling offer letters due to recession and hence I am scared as I don't have any other offer in hand

What's the truth 🤔
