A sure shot way to judge if someone is happy at their present job or if they're looking - they'll be extra active on LinkedIn all of a sudden

Say the same thing now but make it more fun :)

Product Marketing Manager

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Context: 10.5 YOE, Marketing lead. I've been looking for a switch since September last year. I'd seen signs of maybe my role or the company itself folding very early and knew 'twas time to bolt. But it's not that easy. Back then - 1 year in a startup meant hey not bad, people still spoke to you and considered your profile. These days, they treat you like Ebola if you've not had your ass stuck in the same place for 3-5 years. 

Anyway, so the majority of my time searching for jobs was the shitty Easy Apply or IIMJOBS premium account route. Suprise suprise. It doesn't work. But hey I was still employed and not nearly as motivated as someone who's unemployed. 

Cut to layoffs: Got laid off with my whole team and a huge chunk of other leaders. My first layoff, felt hilariously like the last day of school. To the org's credit they gave us 3 month severance, leave encashments and extra months for those who'd been there for 2 years+. In hindsight hearing the horror stories of 2k severance from Byju's. I'm grateful for the nice golden parachute I got. I'll be honest, it contributed heavily to my mental stability. I had time, I had leverage, I didn't have to run for the first shitty opportunity that came my way. 

The How I did it (why you struggled through the above stream of consciousness) 

- Wrote to 159 founders with one pagers to 35 of them with ideas on how i'd lead their marketing function. 5 replies. 3 interviews. 2 offers - didn't take em cuz they were super early stage or diff cities. This is immediately in month 1 so I've already started feeling icky about not getting great brands to have in my set. 
- Easy Applied to 768 (I ran a Gmail search, this is a real number) jobs. 99% no responses or you've been rejected. 
-Kept changing one letter on my Naukri.com profile, got me 6 calls, 3 interviews and 1 conversion 

I think theres a word limit to posts 🥲 following up as comments below.

Finally got a job (here's the do's and dont's)

I was working in capgemini for last 2 years as an infrastructure operation associate role . I joined there as a fresher  after my graduation . But I haven’t received any hike or promotion once in that time period and the salary was also very less. So I resigned from capgemini in the month of April. I completed my LWD on 19th July.

Hey guys, I have two years of backend experience and currently working in a Intex start-up. Right now. They are paying way below the market standards and they are trying their best to hold our bonuses this year. I heard some conversations in the boardroom that how they’re planning to hold of our bonuses. All the top goers are planning to leave the company this year and the companies due to shut down soon. I would be grateful if somebody can refund me to their company and I can join it as soon as possible. Thank you

Software Developer

I have got a full time job offer (SDE 1) from a startup who are offering good pay and wfh.

But I was uncertain whether I'll get this offer or not so reached out to another startup and after screening they have scheduled technical interviews.
They are offering the same pay and wfo in Bangalore.

I've accepted the offer from 1st company by considering multiple factors like product, wlb, culture, growth, etc.
So now should I appear for interviews in the 2nd company or I should tell them beforehand ?
I feel it will be a waste of time for that company and it'll be hard for me to tell no in the end as they told their offer and benefits beforehand, and I had reached out to them with interest.

What should I do ?

Should I give interview when I know I won't join them ?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I've been applying for over 1.8 years. I've faced over 7000 rejections. I've never received calls from recruiters for the roles I've applied to. I really need a job, urgently need a job pls. It really feels like I'm begging. No one helps on LinkedIn, Fishbowl.

And I've been applying for jobs through various platforms like instahyre, simplyhired, cutshort, wellfound, indeed, naukri, Glassdoor. But I'm not getting any calls. I've only received a few calls from naukri. And from that too only a few were genuinely scheduled for an interview. And why do recruiters ghost and treat candidates like they are expendable. 

Victoria's Secret, Upland, Nielsen, and Morgan Stanley cancelled the role. I cleared all the rounds with them and I was told that HR will reach out with an offer and was asked for a joining date as well. But after months of follow-up they cancelled the role. And then ghosted and no response. 

Also, I've always received the same automated email, we have moved forward with another candidate. But the role remains open.. companies like Virtusa, Nasdaq, S&P 500, Flipkart, Amex, Wells Fargo, Victoria's Secret, Paychex, Myntra, Meesho, and many more have been doing the same thing, I believe these are ghost positions. 

Initially I was applying to roles that aligned with my experience and skills. But now I'm applying to every role, even roles like customer support, driver, sales boy, etc. I am in urgent need of a job. And yes, I do customise the resume based on JD. And why is it that companies like Airtel, Amex, Paypal, Wells Fargo, Phonepe, etc ask for mandatory experience in banking, payments, or insurance but they shamelessly hire folks with non IT and MBA background jusy because they are from IIT. Why this double standard?

And yes, I do customise the resume based on JD.

Need employment, 4 yoe, looking for jobs for 1.8 years, urgently need a job pls, not receiving interview calls, not getting shortlisted
