What are some strategies to applying to NYC agencies when you live out of state? (Working in Boulder now) Im a mid-level creative and I feel like most recruiters instantly dismiss the conversation.

It’s illegal in New York State for recruiters to ask where you live. Just don’t bring it up. They also cannot ask how much you currently make.

I’m having the same problem OP!

@ACD1 but what if your current employer sees it and @CW1 what if they ask you to come in for an interview like the next day?

Figure out your top 3 or 4 agency targets and start reaching out directly to their in-house recruiters. Big plus if you’re not asking them for re-lo pkg!

Have your website speak directly to the agency that you want to work at. Post work of clients they already have

I took a ton of sick days and it was definitely an investment. But you could also book a trip and then just squeeze in as many interviews/informational meetings as you can. Start building the network by visiting as often as you can afford and hopefully something comes of it

Also you can suggest Skype

Dear Amdocs Hiring Team, Thanks for the worst experience. You guys took almost 2 months for hiring process, asked for all the documents, even shared the CTC breakup over email and at last after multiple follow ups over calls and emails, you replied by stating that "Unfortunately , we are not moving ahead with your candidature at moment." When I asked the reason, you are clueless till now what to say? You guys even don't have enough courage to respond my calls. #Amdocs #Hiring

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?
