Got put on PIP for internal politics reasons. Got a new job within that 2 months that paid 20% more. Planned to put in my 2 weeks that following Monday, but Friday morning they called me in and let me go while offering 1 month severence. Said I understood and politely left. Took a nice 2 week paid vacation and joined the new company as planned.

Let go for performance at the end of October last year, and received an offer for FAANG at the end of January with ~50% raise. It feels hopeless, but start updating your resume and LinkedIn, and sharpen your networking skills. Best of luck on your search!

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

Hi Fishes, I grabbed an offer at Accenture with 12 LPA fixed for Level 9. I'm not getting a retention offer from my current company at 13.5 lpa. How do I go about a counter offer with Accenture HR? Also tell me how to approach this situation smoothly.

If HR doesn't fulfill the counter offer, is it ok to accept 12 lpa fixed for Level 9 and when will I get a hike here and how much would it be approximately?
