Has anyone in TAS started looking for a new job? I’m nervous that deal activity will be suppressed for a while and there will eventually be layoffs

Nah, too many projects and bankruptcy/ restructuring projects. Plus they want to hold on to me for when this flips. People with my particular skills are hard to come by.

Shoot your shot

Also I think it’s way too early for that. If this bounces back as quickly as it dipped? Plus, as soon as quarantine stuff stops there will be a big vault upward in conditions.

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago.

While negotiating the offer the recruiter came back to me and said "We’re working through headcount planning right now. The position you applied to is closed". Looks like a hiring freeze. Does this mean layoffs are coming up? What about the candidates (like myself) who cleared HC and was in negotiating process?

This may be an unpopular opinion.

But I think it's kinda shitty that when FAANG people get laid off, everyone feels bad for them and they get so many resources to get rehired, but the same is not true for people that get laid off at smaller lesser known organizations.

Like those FAANG people will be fine, they got generous severance packages. The people who actually need help often get overlooked or are forgotten.
