And why wouldn't you apply everywhere? Based on hiring forecasts for the next several years, you should be getting hired in less than... correction... MUCH less than 9 years. And what I've been trying to say is that if industry hiring slows, so does flow. Slow flow means worse than 9 years.
Not AA or bust. Not saying I wouldn’t apply anywhere else. Projections aren’t worth the paper they’re written on. A couple years ago the projections were 3 years, then 10, now I guess it is where it is. We don’t know where the industry is gonna be in 6 months let alone a decade. And not everyone decides to move on after the regionals as soon as they can. While you may, and most may plan to, it’s not always the case. So like I said, IF you find yourself at a wholly owned with a flow and IF you find yourself comfortable where you are and decide to stay for 7-10 years and then decide to go to a major, guess what, the flow is there. To me, that is valuable. May not be to you, but it is to me.
Not once have I mentioned anything about any sort of resume fixing, not even worth a discussion.
