If you've been looking for a new financial services job in 2023 and you haven't found one yet, you can be forgiven for feeling panicked. Thanksgiving is nearly upon us. Then it's Christmas. Then it's bonus season. And then you'll be competing with everyone else trying to find a new seat in 2024 because they didn't like their pay.
Do not lose your cool. Financial services is an industry that values status. While honesty can help in some situations, an admission that you're getting desperate while you're looking for a new job may also act against you.
