I’m feeling like I’m a deer in the middle of the road waiting to be run over by a 18 wheeler. The anticipation is unhealthy.

Nervous but also better knowing that they are trying to figure shit out, rather than jump the gun with layoffs.

My agency announced they were doing it. I heard on Wednesday it was gonna go down today. My stomach is churning, I didn’t sleep at all, and I feel like mentally paralyzed just waiting and unable to focus. Before they announced, I was so convinced I was fine. And i flipped like a light switch. My two clients are both heavily effected industries so it’s not unwarranted.

So hard being at home and in your own bubble totally unaware of the vibe and what is going on.

Given states are running out of unemployment funds, it would suck to be the last group with layoffs.

Hi all,

I interviewed with capgemini for SAP ABAP role and my YOE is 4 years. Just 2 hours after my interview, I got a call from someone at Capgemini saying that I am selected.
They just asked my notice period and current location.I asked them, what is the next round going to be and they said that it is going to be salary discussion. But till now, no one has reached out to me.
Does it mean they got another candidate for same job?
If they get back to me, how much should I ask?
Current - 9.9
