The situation, he pointed out, was quite different when he was actively trying to find a job.Shrivastava recalled reaching out to around 100 companies during his job hunt, but receiving only two replies. Now, despite not looking for a job, he claims to receive around two offers a day on LinkedIn.He drew a similar comparison with his experience of trying to secure an education loan for an MBA abroad. Back then, he approached several banks to figure out how he would fund his studies, only to realise that he would not be able to get a loan covering the full amount he needed. “Now that I don't need a loan, I get 5 loan offers,” he wrote, highlighting the irony of having access to options only after they are no longer necessary.Reflecting on these experiences, Shrivastava suggested that opportunities often seem elusive when people need them the most, only to appear once they stop actively chasing them. Take a look at the post here:His observation prompted social media users to share similar experiences. One user noted that recruiters often approach people when they are comfortably employed but become difficult to reach when those same people start looking for work.Another viewed the situation through the lens of economics, describing it as a perceived shift in risk and value depending on a person's circumstances. A third argued that the takeaway was not to stop wanting things altogether, but to avoid letting the need for them dictate decisions.- Ends
