Hi everyone, I am working in finance (equities) in HK and really want a change due to issues with my manager. Since I am not at such a senior level (4 years experience), I am not clear about how the game is played and probably not a prime candidate on the radar. I did meet a few people earlier, mostly nothing came out of it except for a discussion and it seemed they were trying to get information out of me. One person did say he would introduce me to his contacts at different banks and did arrange meetings at two places. There were positive discussions, but again nothing happened afterwards. Now the same headhunter told me there will probably be very little hiring until next year.
I am not clear at this stage if these people have already shopped me around to different banks, in which case I am already familiar to potential employers. Should I continue talking to different headhunters, or will it just create overlap and make me seem desperate? Can a headhunter refer you to some place if another one has already done so? Also, is there much of a point job searching so aggressively during the down market?
