There are many reasons why you should explore opportunities in January, February, and March in most MNCs because this is the time when the annual budget is determined and the requirements for the next year are drawn. ➡Apr-June: This is a great period to apply for jobs in companies where the financial year ends in March, especially Indian organizations. Also after hikes, there is maximum movement and openings. July-Sep: The mid-year is normally not a very encouraging time to look for a new job. The reason is simple companies fill most of the vacancies at the beginning of the year and promotions happen mostly during this period. However, the silver lining is that most people know about this and they do not normally look for jobs during this time-which means the competition is at it's lowest, and in case there are any vacancies, your chances of grabbing the opportunity also increase.
