"Be loyal to your job" is such outdated advice. I’ve seen too many high performers get laid off with no warning, despite giving everything. Loyalty should be mutual, not blind. Has anyone else had to rethink where work fits in your sense of self?

Is anyone hearing chatter in banks/FIs about recessionary job cuts or hiring freezes yet?

It's refreshing to see RBC's committment to no 2020 layoffs. Anyone know if any other banks are following suit?

I’m a Junior accountant, recent MBA grad in Finance, located in NYC, just got laid off due to a merger. Anybody hiring or know any opening positions?

What’s the best way to negotiate more money during a contract to FTE conversion? My manager and I had the conversion convo today and he said he’d like to convert me immediately and took the action item to do so. In terms of comp he said they should already have what I’m expecting but I don’t think I communicated any FTE number to my contracting company. In this job market with all the layoffs, should I count my blessings and take what I can get or is there wiggle room.
YOE: 10

Throwing this out there. My company was recently acquired and I was laid off yesterday. I’m currently 6m pregnant so looking for a company that isn’t going to have a problem with my giving birth in 3m (looking for a miracle). 13 YOE in Marketing (Brand, Digital, Product, Ops). You name it, I’ve probably done it. Team management exp but not required in next role. Just looking for 100% remote, flexibility, and company that puts families first and won’t give me a hard time about doctor appts 🙏🏻

Constantly worried I’m going to get fired because I don’t know where I stand at my mid sized law firm (second year associate).

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?

Hi Sharks,

I got an offer from FTD for permanent work from home. But i am not sure about the company.. Also the market conditions are bad too.. There are many layoffs from various companies.. Looking for suggestions..

I seem to go through this cycle where I'll try to fix a problem, fix it and then go back to my old ways. I'm trying to fight against it but basically my performance review is coming up and I think it's likely I'm going to be let go because of my failure to meet expectations. Earlier in the year I was going through a rough time and working through it, I have gotten better over the course of the year but I feel it's not enough. I got fired from my last job. I'm so sick of this cycle

Hi,

Is this a good time to join HP? As they have recently announced 6000 layoffs in 2 years.

Thinking about starting an OF... since we aren’t getting raises this year. In all seriousness, I like being watched. But I’m too afraid to be found and get fired. My husband has a job now so maybe I can finally live my dream. Thoughts?

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

I think I’m potentially about to be fired this week in retaliation from my boss...what should I do?

Layoff going on in Synechron ?

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

Looking for advice. Submitted Reasonable Accommodations to HR three months ago, and instead of accepting/negotiating, my company fired me. Aren’t they required to engage in an interactive process with me?

Ladies, do you ever correct students when they write your name as "Mrs"? Do you care? 😂

I’ll be asking my last job for a letter of recommendation but I’m not sure who to ask. My boss, who is lovely and would write an amazing LOR. Or my boss's boss who would put minimal effort in but it would have more weight.

Does anyone have question suggestions for a final interview with skip level boss? Big picture, vision for the role + team, growth strategy type questions! Thanks :)

Just landed a full time gig, looking to get some furniture so I’m not working on my parents’ kitchen table during this remote period. Any recommendations for desks and chairs? I’m hoping to find something that’s easy to assemble and break down for when I need to move, and something that won’t cost an arm and a leg.

I know everyone has a different kind of setup that works for them. I currently have a laptop, drawing pad, second monitor, and a desk riser.

Hi,
As of now I got into PIP so does it indirectly means that i will be fired.?

Hello all, I work for a small consumer goods company as Ecommerce Director. I’m pretty much the only one managing our Ecomm store, no direct reports but manage a marketing and Amazon 3rd party agencies for the brand. I’ve been with company almost 2 years and have significantly increased sales. In the middle of salary negotiations and just curious on what everyone thinks would be comp salary for this position: Ecomm director/ manager hybrid role. Thank you!

Help. I’m struggling to find a job that’s $120k and up. I keep getting recruiters reach out on LinkedIn but for half of the salary. Im in the oil and gas, currently working for Philips 66.

Any idea on maybe what positions I should be looking for within this range?

I have 15 years of supply chain experience, transportation and freight forwarding. I also have an MBA. Would like a hybrid, or remote but open to anything.

Please evaluate possible comp package for project manager role
175-185 base
20% -25% bonus
200-250 RSU over 4 years
11 years of experience with a masters

Any know the salary for a senior solution analyst at BCG in the Chicago area? Glassdoor doesn’t have that job title listed, surprisingly.

I’m currently an SA2 but was offering a 6 month rotation working on product strategy for the firm with a promotion to Manager. Recruiter explained that It’d be at the same base pay with the potential of a raise in June, would you take just a title bump?

Hoping for promo in about a year with ~30% raise. How long would I need to stay at the firm, after raise, to be able to get more money in a lateral move to another firm?

What are some negotiation scripts you people have used to negotiate a higher salary after the initial offer?

Product Manager offer is 120k salary, sign on bonus of 15k. 4 YOE total. Undergrad degree in computer science. Am I underpaid? This is a legit question lol. I’ve only done federal contracting/consulting work.

Interviewed for Deloitte S&A Tech Strategy SC and got a verbal offer for Consultant instead. I negotiated the offer to 120K salary and 10K signing bonus. I’m a boomerang with 4 years ERP consulting but this past year I’ve been doing DEI Consulting. Spoke with former colleagues who rejoined Deloitte and got a much higher offer for SC. How do I go back to the recruiter to negotiate further? I suggested that I’d probably sign but need time to think. Now I’d like to go back and request 140k salary.

Bonus for EY S&O?

Thoughts on joining EY Advisory PI or Guidehouse as a manager 2. Salary and sign on are exact same.

Has anyone with PwC been successful in counter offering. 6 YOE and I just received a 30% bump to go to another firm. Willing to counter but I’m wondering if I’m wasting My time.

Does AWS really only offer 2 weeks of PTO when you start?

PwC question: Is there any small wiggle room (+/- 5 - 10k) in the cohort pay band you're assigned to or is it dead set on a number? Fully understand between cities and non/MBA the numbers are different
