Anyone interviewing with companies that did layoffs last year? Is anyone asking about this during the hiring process?

It’s like bringing up someone’s exes on the first date. Good luck getting a second date 😉

What is there to ask about? The majority of companies had less sales, less revenue and less work for months so the companies had to get rid of people. It’s just business.

What consulting company went to no revenue? PwC had a minor dip for a couple of months. But we have already announced fully funded bonus pool for this year which is an earlier announcement than any of my 6 years there so obviously things came back very quickly. We are turning away business because we don’t have enough people as is, we would have lost even more revenue with layoffs.

Yes, I brought up the impact of the pandemic during my interview process here (knowing that there was a freeze/layoff in 2020) and the leaders were candid which was reassuring.

This is the type of question in referencing, thank you! I’m glad they were candid with you.

Hi guys need your advice.. Is it a good idea to join my previous company if they are offering better compensation and position?

As I'm moving to a new role in a small company, I have a doubt about my salary structure like the Basic salary part is only 20,000 while my take home is 62k after all deductions.

I'm concerned because the leave encashment & other things totally depends on the basic salary.

Are there not any rules for the Basic salary to be at a certain % of CTC or it depends totally on the company?

Also PF deductions they are offering only 1800 p.m but considering 20000 basic it should be 12% of 20000 right?

Hey! My company is giving me a new title (previously: Senior PMM, new: Global Lead of product marketing). The roles are very similar with no material change of responsibilities. it’s the result of a re-org. Also, I’ve been deemed a high performer and approaching my 1 yr review.

In any case, as I’m waiting on the official letter, they have been very vague that they’re will be a compensation increase. In fact, this hasn’t been presented as a promotion. How would you approach this conversation?
