I have 8 years of experience and have left 2 companies in less than a year.
First one I left because of toxicity , second one I was laid off due to financial constraints in the company, my current company is a toxic hell with a jerk of a boss. I want to jump from here, I don’t think I’ll finish even 10 months, have anyone experienced this ? Will I have issues trying to interview for another job

and duration u have served first two companies? Better wait till December somehow as hopefully more opportunities in january onwards

First company 3 years : best place I ever worked in, the management changed after I left
Second company 6 months (worst place I ever worked)
Third company 1 1/2 years
Fourth company 1 year
Fifth company 10 months (left due to layoffs and lack of funding)
Sixth company 10 months and ongoing (being micromanaged like hell here)

Every company I worked for I was decent, not excellent in performance but above average for sure. I never talked rudely or had any angry reactions to anyone.

My issue is that I get into trouble because I stand up for myself. I might work on weekends once or twice but if it happens repeatedly I refuse to (politely). In my current company I am doing the work of 2 people for 1 persons salary. I had to even work on public holidays and sick days as well. Such things trigger my workplace trauma and I feel like just quitting. I am going to be very selective in the next company I join. I’m thinking of not including one of those companies in my resume anymore. Idk what to do

Hi Sharks 🦈,

Need some suggestions: My current company is on a layoff spree and 2 rounds are already done and I can foresee another round coming very soon.

While I am trying to switch to other companies, I’m not able to reveal the real reason from my side for the job change, as if I say, it’s because of layoff fears than it’ll reduce my negotiation power.

What other reasons can I give as I’ve just completed 9 months here and it’s too soon for any other company to take me in.

Hi Doordash 🐠, has there been discussions of layoffs? Is DD planning on doing any? Thanks, from a potential hire

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months. I was worried that because I couldn’t find another project, I would get laid off so I found J2, which pays more, is very meeting heavy, but I really like. I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?

Hi everyone,

I have got the ey hr mail stating i should provide him with aadhar card, information sheet and latest resume for a audit and assurance contract for 6 months as iam a semi qualified CA.

Here my question is should i take this opportunity. Cause since this is only for 6 months. After that, what i can do, where should I try to get the job?

In mid size firms, people won't pay as much as big 4 pays.

Should I take it or am I making a mistake by taking this.

I got a job offer from a new company so I signed the offer letter and received the company laptop and they have created login credentials for me but my date of joining was after 15 days. Then I have submitted the resignation on current company. Now my current company found that I have accepted the offer for new company and got their laptop. Now they are asking me to pay 1.5 lakhs for giving the experience letter saying dual employment and breach of trust.

How can I handle this situation

Its hard to be positive nowadays in any work. When I joined IT industry i thought in IT we will not have politics and shit but its there. Ppl dont want to work together. They just want to keep their power. They achieve something and they wanna keep it anyhow. Its really sad. You wanna work with your open heart but ppl above you wont let it because in the end their position will be in danger. Why would be in danger? You know stuff, you have knowledge, you can grow more and more. Right??
