A stranger puts a gun to your head and says "I will kill you unless you get yourself fired from your current firm in the next 24 hours." How do you save yourself FB?

I have been interviewing for a new job but I keep hearing about layoffs and a recession coming. Is now a bad time to switch jobs?

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

There have been surprising news with layoffs lately. Has anyone here been affected by the layoffs at Twitter or META?

Hows the industry doing in MENA right now? Any worries about a potential crash? Are firms still hiring? Based in the US and everything is tense here with the recent tech layoffs

What if Elon Musk replaces Rajesh Gopinathan as the CEO of TCS?
All the useless managers will be fired?

Should I negotiate a severance package even though it’s not in my contract and it’s not required by UK law?

Laid off with 1 YOE. Do I include college Awards / Extracurriculars (have just one line to list each right now) ? How about SAT scores?

Has anyone seen firing in Deloitte India? Is there any process or employees are fired directly like few companies?

Is it any surprise we’re seeing mass layoff in tech? Years of rich friends hiring rich friends with no work ethic has lead us here. I know way too many tech people who work maybe an hour a day followed by errands and traveling. A lot of getting in these places is who you know, apparently that doesn’t work out like it used to. The amount of people who worked for Meta, Apple, Amazon, etc for a few months / maybe a year is astounding. it’s around that time frame a boss can tell if you’re worth it

Got laid off today. Ironicly is I have been looking for a new job for over a year. I guess it's good that I no longer work in a toxic environment & no longer for a criminal. Heartburn from anxiety.

Is there mass layoffs happening in the industry right now? Is the rumour true? Are we back in a recession?

Laid off after Thanksgiving. 54. Not done yet. Plenty to offer. In Detroit but ready and able to move anywhere. AD/CD. Hangin in there. How bout you?

Have an interview with a company I really want to work for tomorrow. My last job I was laid off b/c of an acquisition&recently accepted a job at a diff company b/c I couldnt afford not to. I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up? The acquisition was public so they can see Im no longer employed with the most recent work history on my resume

Has anyone working tech for a bank been laid off yet? Tech layoffs all over the media but no one is talking about developers at banks (who make up 1/3 of headcount in some cases)

Are BAs comparatively safer than Dev’s when it comes to layoffs?

Do you sometimes read your evaluation, all you want to is to quit and you can dispute on everything they say?

My husband has 3+ years of experience specializing in PL/SQL Development. Anyone have a lead for remote PL/SQL jobs? He's mostly looking on LinkedIn and working with recruiters, but is there better places to look? ZipRecruiter?

I have a Deloitte PDM offer. I’ve read about the positives/negatives and I’m so torn. When my recruiter says I’ll have “144 hours” of PTO (18 days), will I definitely still run into the utilization trap of not being able to take it? Are all projects 40-42 hr weekly caps? Third question: I’m new in the DC area, are PDMs invited to firm socials? Trying to make friends! Thanks in advance

Is TCS still postponing/delaying joining date for Lateral joiners? Please provide your inputs. TIA :)

UBS has mentioned 2L of relocation bonus in my offer letter.
Do I need to submit any bills to claim the same?

Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

You're a new manager with direct reports. One of your directs is very determined. You consider yourself a good manager so you want to help them grow. They are killing it and taking on an enormous of workload, and executing flawlessly. Do you let them continue killing it? Ask how they're doing? Or warn/advise them on how to avoid burnout?

24, one year in with my firm and just no clue what to do with myself. I have some passion for the music industry in general, studied a lot concerning health & healthcare but not sold on a MD...just feeling stuck with indecisiveness on top of the current climate. Tips?

My manager basically gave me an unlimited budget to get whatever certifications I want. My career profile is similar to a Solution Architect- what should I get? I am thinking about Okta (I do some SAML work), Domo, ITIL, Six Sigma, Certified Scrum Product Owner, Six Sigma, anything else? I have AWS Cloud Practitioner already. I am hoping to pivot to Product Management or Data Science.

EY folks...thoughts on LEAD?

Hey all, can you pls recommend resources to get up to speed on Fraud and Risk management for Payments in fintech? Books /sites? I’m not in consulting anymore so no access to internal decks. Thanks!

Currently at Big 4. Have offers for a PL/Principal at MBB and for a VP role at a Fortune 20 company. The VP role is more interesting and comp a bit better but I’m told would accelerate faster at MBB. The initial plan was to end up at MBB. What’s the best for future flexibility?

"Girl, I can make you pivot."

Definitely not a fan of Westin's "Eat Well" proposition. I'm working in the room at 2:00 AM and the most appetizing menu item is a cold turkey avocado and arugula wrap. I just want a burger and fries!

Gals, which would you prefer - oval 1.5 ct H ($8800), or oval 1.2 ct G ($5700)? Both brilliant, SI2. I could do the 1.5ct G but raises to 9900, and not sure it’s worth it.

My girlfriend likes dainty (doesn’t like flashy). I plan to put it on a thin gold band. She has a small sized finger so I think either will look nice.

If I need Friday 4-5pm to go to a doctor's appointment, do I need to set a meeting invite to my manager in order not to be fired?
