Strategy

Overall consulting practice is shrinking forcing people to overwork, sales are slow but coming steady however there are layoffs in the horizon, not large amounts as the teams are already reduced, evaluations are coming and some people might look for options afterwards as a result of no promotion / not great salary increases, tough times ahead

Barely non-existent Canadian pipeline for us. Were reliant on US projects, which have dried up considerably too. 0 Canadian hiring at my firm.

Hi Fishes,
I recently got shortlisted for a Product Manager position at Tracxn. There’s also an IPO coming up which is the reason I had applied.
But I have read some horrifying reviews about the company on Glassdoor, indeed and other forums.

I’m wondering whether it’s worth going through the interview process and I’d also like to hear opinions from anyone who has worked with the company or is aware of the company culture.

Thanks.

I’m so tired of US companies hiring remote Canadian employees offering to pay a fraction of the price for the same role.

This is consistent across the majority of the tech companies. While I am looking to exit consulting, don’t want to be paid 50% of what my colleagues would be making across the border.
