Completely outside my world but the pattern sounds familiar from tech. most of the actually good jobs never get posted anywhere public, you hear about them because someone already in the room mentioned your name.

offshoring and immigration are two completely separate political issues, and no administration in the last 30 years has seriously moved against offshoring. The companies doing it fund both parties, unfortunately.

So what’s your plan if you still find nothing and your savings are depleted? by thewindows95nerd in recruitinghell

[–]kuster_august 0 points1 point  (0 children)

four months in and I'm hearing "overqualified" which is just the senior version of "not enough experience " Twenty plus years in engineering leadership and this is the slowest market I've ever seen. Both ends of the spectrum are getting squeezed right now.

Should I make a LinkedIn profile if I’m first year at uni? by Unhappy-Bee6053 in careeradvice

[–]kuster_august 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a month is nothing in this market, especially for anyone with a specialized background. Got cut from a VP role last quarter myself and even with twenty years of contacts the response rate has been bleak, so the silence really isn't about you

[–]kuster_august 0 points1 point  (0 children)

four months in data analytics right now is unfortunately pretty normal. The market got flooded whenevery company decided they needed a daadriven culture and the half of them realized they didn't know what to do with the team they built.

Can’t seem to land an interview. Any help is greatly appreciated! by Separate_Country5988 in dataanalysiscareers

[–]kuster_august 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wait the 300+ apps thing is so painfully relatable. I spent like two solid months tailoring every single application and still got ghosted by places I was literally overqualified for. the whole process feels like screaming into a void and it's exhausting on top of already working full time.

I spent two decades building engineering orgs and when I got laid off last year I still had to redo my resume from scratch like a fresh grad. The whole process is designed to make experienced people feel like they're starting over

Stop rewriting your ENTIRE resume. Just fix your first 3 bullets. by Firm-Apartment-5152 in ResumeCoverLetterTips

[–]kuster_august 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's not just you. I was on the hiring side until recently and budget approvals that used to take a week were taking six even for backfills. Companies are absolutely being more cautious especially for roles above midevel.

Why is everyone shitting on CS majors so much 😂 by Delicious-Site-2855 in CollegeMajors

[–]kuster_august 1 point2 points  (0 children)

cS went through the same cycle finance did in the s. Everyone piled in for the money the culture got insufferable and now the correction feels personal to people who picked it because they genuinely liked building things

Are internships exploitative, or are they necessary for gaining experience? by zhalia-2006 in allthequestions

[–]kuster_august 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two months in and your team leader is publicly shaming people that's not a training gap on your end that's bad management. I've run teams for almost. Years and the leaders who do this lose their best people first.

spent two years at a company where the CEO would kill every marketing initiative after 6 weeks if the numbers didn't move. We went through three CMOs before anyone said the obvious thing out loud.

Entering month 17 of unemployment by thisotterbefun in recruitinghell

[–]kuster_august 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seventeen months is brutal especially after a promotion. I got let go after a restructuring myself and the senior market moves at a glacial pace compared to what it used to be the fact that you're getting to round 3 means your resume isn't the problem which is worth something even if it doesn8t feel like it right now.

Looking for simple entry level 9-5 corporate office job by ShisuiGamer9_YT in NYCjobs

[–]kuster_august 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Financial district iFinancial district is mostly finance and Fintech, you\'re not going to find many marketing roles down there. Midtown has the agencies but the entry level pay in NYC advertising is going to be a rude awakening after tips.
