Preseason Thread

Pretty much what it sounds like: a place for discussions of the 2009-2010 market, strategies for getting a job, strategies for coping with the process, etc. etc.

2008-2009 Job Market Discussion (September)

This is the official kickoff thread for discussion of the 2008-2009 job market. Recent chatter at the IR Rumor Mill has focused on whether or not there are fewer jobs than in recent years, and, if so, why this is the case. The current consensus answers are "yes" and "a slower economy."

Feel free to discuss this, or any other rumors about the general character of the job market, here.

New users should familiarize themselves with our policies as they have evolved in recent years

Job Market Discussion Thread

Post queries and speculation about the job market, jobs, and so forth here.

IR Job Market Discussion

In order to separate out rumors from discussion of the job market or the rumor mill itself, please comment here if you wish to comment on (or, most likely, complain about) the job market itself. All of the relevant comments from the IR Job Rumors Fall 2006 have been moved here. Since this is a process that currently must be done by hand, please post comments about the job market itself here rather than on other postings.
