Does your firm have a legitimate amount of projects still going on right now? I was told by various leaders at my firm banking and Healthcare were still busy as ever, and then I ask people in the practice, and they say their clients have hit the pause button on almost everything. Would like to think "pause" is all this will be, but have to believe mass layoffs are just a matter of time. Meanwhile, tech is the only industry hiring 😩

Yup outside of the two industries you mentioned and retail businesses with large online presences, alot of projects are being paused or downsized

Those firm's clients are still doing their non discretionary work: compliance and audit

Hi folks, I recently applied for a new role in EMEA for a Specialist Solutions Architect. Got through n received an offer letter. But seems like the base is a bit lower than what i saw online in a couple of places (not sure of years of experience there though). Is it worth it to bring it up and ask the HM to raise an exception? How much time will this take? Is it a risk? Already the entire process has dragged on cause of delays on recruitment's part etc. Any advice or insight would be helpful!

Tata Consultancy Hi fishies, I recently interviewed for a Big data dev role for Autodesk but it's via a third party called Applicantz. Initially the contract is for 1 year, which can be extended. There is also scope of Autodesk hiring permanently after 6 months or 1 year. Can anyone provide some reviews about Autodesk and third party Applicantz. Usually I would not have considered anything via a third party, but the company(Autodesk) seems great and work discussed seems good as well.

Got my citizenship this year planning to start processing GC for my parents. They are in their mid and late 60s, how do you think are the odds of approval? Also does the health and medical insurance work differently in different states. Will they be eligible for medicare if they get a GC without an earning tenure in US of 10 years ?

What are some strategies or tactics you have developed which are very successful in small markets (I'm talking SUPER small)? I feel like I've thrown all my darts and some markets still can't find talent.

Some things I've tried, here in Canada:

- non-profit/employment centers
- indeed headunting
- getting field/hiring managers to post around town
- getting on local FB groups
- local schools if there are any
- physical posters
- newspaper/old media (not great)

Ideas needed 😭
