Depends what field you are in. London is good for certain fields but not others. Plenty of opportunities but salaries vary a lot within a given domain I would not restrict yourself to London, other areas would give you a better standard of living and quality of life but London is the best city in the UK by an order of magnitude,

Tacky AF. Tell me I was rejected by the shadowy 5-person board or it was given to someone who wanted less. Just not this b.s.

I've been job hunting for a while now, and have yet to secure anything. I've made it through to the writing test a few times but haven't succeeded. I know I have the skill, but I struggle to even get an interview at most places. I'm pretty new out of college, but I'm in Atlanta and I feel like there aren't tons of entry-level positions in the area. Any tips for a new professional? Not sure how to level up my approach to job hunting, but I feel like there's always something I can do.
