Feels like layoffs are happening everywhere right now. It’s honestly scary. In my city, IBM let go of almost half their team and said it’s because of AI. Makes me wonder what the future looks like for those of us in tech. What do you think?

I hear this all the time. I think it is an excuse for companies. It’s buzz words. I have yet to see AI do the job of a real person.

True, it does feel like a convenient excuse. Still, seeing such big layoffs tied to AI makes it hard not to worry about what’s ahead for tech roles.

Got news that my house closing may have to be moved due to a delay in the sale of my home. My partner’s income was excluded in the DI ratio, but if it were included we’d be well under the % threshold and can be approved to close on time regardless of the sale of my house. However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?

Additional Posts in Ask A Recruiter - Tech

Hey, another question for y’all. How should I reach out to a recruiter who offered me a full time position but I rejected for a better offer? At the time I was offered the position my main concern was lack of guidance/support from leadership. Now, a year later I have experience being in a role with limited over site (not as scary as I initially thought it would be) and feel confident I would excel in the role I rejected. How would you approach this situation? Thanks in advance!!
