Anyone else really confused and worried about all the major layoffs in the tech space. I’ve seen all size firms layoff all types of work forces.

This is not an issue if you're a top producer. If you can articulate Process + Rolodex = Results, you'll be fine. I've been through a bunch of recessions (and one is likely on its way) and organizations typically use business slowdown as a way to cut the C players. They cannot afford to cut the top producers.

Yeah. It's a little concerning. I've been trying to put more into savings lately just in case.

Yes, I’ve seen this too. Companies and people are suffering because of economic instability and honestly the government doesn’t seem to be worried.

It's unfortunate but I think tech firms are acting preemptively based on economic performance...I don't think things are going to get much better unfortunately

Out of curiosity, do specialists have far greater job security during downturns? Just realized that most of the people I hear were let go are associates in M&A, cap mkts, or other non-specialist practices.

If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or would like to network let me know. Id love to connect!

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

Hello Fishes !!

Cctc - 6.8 LPA
YoE - 2 Years

I have accepted an offer for BA3 band for 10 LPA (46% hike). Is this a good offer or was I low balled ? Wanted to know as this is my first switch so I cannot judge if this is a good offer or not.
I had communicated my expected salary of 11 LPA (fixed) during negotiations for which HR said she would have to ask the concerned team. I then said that I am willing to negotiate and was offered 10. Was this wise or should I have waited ?
