60 people laid off in June and 60 more expected in December

Will the new batch join on January anyway?

For us it is getting worse unfortunately, I am not sure abt layoffs, most probably we will have some but it wont be as massive as last cycle. Probably people with lowest tenure across ranks will get hit the most as it was the case in last cycle.

Thanks for the response, as an incoming junior, any recommendations for longer term success ? Best practices/partners to try and work with ? Sounds like this is highly important.

Just grow ur network, try to work with different partners and make sure u build good rapport with them, it will protect u. Dont only focus on project work, try to work on some internal activities and initiatives led by partners, it will give u good visibility. While good performance is the most important thing, network and likability are ur keys to success and survival in this industry

I'm feeling a lot of anger towards my manager (now he's acting normal but there were moments where he was condescending/dismissive/mocked my and others work/arrogant/said stuff was "wrong" constantly/belittling the difficulty of tasks etc. in the past project).
Maybe it is "standard chewing out" but it bothered me a lot. So much that I find myself still getting all fired up inside thinking about it...
Idk how to let go of this :/ Thoughts?

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!
