Reaching out to a recruiter that does finance and accounting placement might not be a bad move. The recruiter will steer you towards placements that the recruiter has been contacted to fill or will get paid to fill but might also help you in finding a path forward. It’s up to you always in what comes next, no matter how pushy they can be.

If you are not currently employed then definitely use the ‘open to work’ option on LinkedIn (the one where only recruiters can see you are looking for work, not the public option). If you are currently employed then it may potentially be a risk to do this since recruiters from your own company can also theoretically see that you are open to work. Supposedly LinkedIn will not show that you are open to work to your current employer but you have to select your current employer from the LinkedIn drop-down in your experience section so that LinkedIn will know who to hide this from.
Even then though some companies can have multiple LinkedIn accounts and so it is still possible that a recruiter from your company may see that you are open to work. That being said, I’m not sure that even if a recruiter from your current company sees that you are open to work (when they are doing their own searches for talent) that this means that they will necessarily inform your manager of this. My guess is a lot of people leave this option on their profile as part of a passive search for other employment opportunities and it’s probably not necessarily a big deal.

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

The potential comp is the low 200k with a 10% bonus (still higher than what I am making). I feel this is pretty low for VC standards but maybe my standards are also too high. I have generally seen 25% bonus with carry.
