I had a person on my team resign Monday. Today he said that the new job pushed his start date 6 weeks as they are being hit hard by the COVID and trying to save money. He asked if he can extent his end date.

Salesforce is growing. It could be worth going through the interview process. IBM might just as easily lay you off tomorrow, right?

Currently I work for ibm doing Salesforce implementations. I'm considering a job change and starting to interview with Salesforce. With everything happening with COVID-19 is it a bad time to consider a move?
I have a decent personal brand at ibm within my group and obviously if I make a move I would have basically no tenure and a brand new personal brand in the new company. Wondering how bad this recession will get and if it could cause companies to do mass layoffs if this would be a bad time to transition. Looking for opinions / advice!

I think my comment t got deleted ? But I think in case of a recession consulting firms will be most in danger ?

That was my thoughts too, Salesforce is a subscription model and critical systems run on the platform vs ibm provides prof services and projects are more likely to be put on hold or stopped. The only thing is if both companies were to do layoffs I think I would be more secure at ibm given I'm not the newest newbie

I love Advertising. But it is in crisis. Clients are pushing the pause button on 80 percent of the work. And that probably means canceled. I am an optimist but we have to be realistic. 20 percent of us will lose our jobs. If not more. If you have a chance to move out of an agency to a marketer do it. Just don’t resign until you have an iron clad paid agreement for a start date. You don’t want to be left at the in between. Benefits only last until the end of the month you resign.

My interview got over on June 29th right after the interview the recruiter called me and told I’m selected and they will be sending the offer letter. He mentioned there will be a delay in releasing the offer letter since merging is happening right now. few days back I sent a mail to HR.. but no reply. and after that I received a mail stating they are no longer considering me for this position. Does this happen to anyone else ?

CCTC: 17
YOE: 8.3

Got 2 offers:
Lucidworks - 33
Boeing - 35(Verbal offer after countered them with lucidworks offer).

Now with freshworks, last round is pending.
Let me know what would be better.

From interview perspective, I enjoyed lucidworks interview as the interviews taken by quality people compared to other two companies. But it is a startup.

Btw, I have been interviewed for 6 rounds in Citrix and waiting to hear from them.
