Emails and LinkedIn messages daily. One funny thing I noticed is, if I respond messages and set up a call with these recruiters, 75% of them never called on time. 80% are 30 mins late normally and majority of them even don’t brother to send a message to explain why being late. Only recently. Have to block these recruiters all the time.

like

LinkedIn and emails, multiple times per day. On some days as many as 10-15 times. I don’t pick up for phone numbers I don’t know (thanks to recruiters) so I don’t know how often they call but probably not that often, maybe three times per week.

I went through many rounds of interviews at Accenture and then received an offer which I accepted. After I received notice that my background check had cleared I contacted the recruiter to ask when I would receive my start date and they came back with a request that I meet with someone else. Is this normal?

Need Suggestion.

I am the only developer in my team and my manager has assigned me a project in which I need to create a tool from scratch although that is currently running in production build by third party and we don't have access to that code.

I am on notice period and I am 100% sure that project won't be completed before my LWD.

What should I do, I asked him to put some extra team members but he didn't agree, seems like he will add extra team members 2-3 weeks before my LWD.

Y’all. NO ONE KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE, AND WHO, WILL BE LAID OFF. The economy may bounce back next month or next year. It may get much worse or maybe we just sit stagnant before things improve. Firms may lay off a lot or maybe just super low performers. No one knows. Stop reading tea leaves and just work hard and try to save a bit more than usual. There’s nothing else you can do.
