Not seeing or hearing a lot of great things with the job market right now. I am holding out hope it will turn around either towards the end of this year or maybe early next year. Very rough for a lot of people that have been out of work especially. And a lot of them have great experiences too.

I’ve personally been barely landing interviews, I think I am being forced to confront the fact that my desire for GE or VC needs to be let go for a corporate role at this point in time. Even corporate roles in not getting my foot through the door… it’s really distressing

I’m not getting*

Mid market IBs are having their best ever quarters…

Doesn’t mean job market is good though

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement. On my CV I have a section listed as “Education” and under it I have “Business Studies” with the university name and the 3 years that I attended the course (2.5 to be exact). It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

Looking for advice: I have an analyst (9 months on the job) who still doesn’t get it - repeatedly misses comments, doesn’t follow instructions, slow, etc. I have raised this to both my MDs and they seem to be adopting a “not my problem” approach when I mention it. I had advised against hiring this analyst post internship and my MD insisted that all the issues I highlighted were fixable. I have tried teaching him to no avail and frustration with him is growing. Any suggestions for how to handle?
