First i will suggest ,always have a counter offer.
Second, its better to rest few more days or week, rather than joining on low salary expectations. Instead utilize that time to add some weight to your resume.
Yes I was also thinking of same, thank you for reassuring my doubt
I was laid off last year August. It's very shocking and I know the feel. As the Tietoevry person mentioned I told the HRs that no company accepts 3 months notice and all want immediate joiners. No one questioned me further. Never reveal anyone that you were fired. Not even to family and friends. Dont go for low salary. Keep on up skill and try it in linkedin. You will get job soon. Dont loose hope. All the best bro.
@OP I hope you got another job and feeling relaxed.
u can ask the recruiter to go to hell. dont pick calls from such recruiters

Market is always bad bro
Just tell them that the work culture became so toxic that you weren't able to carry it on.
Rising Star
Don't suggest BS advice bro, just say you got some family issues or health issues
I can refer, dm
Hi, I'm also looking for a change with 2.2 years of experience with technologies like java, springboot, microservices. If possible can you refer me too?
Ue tech stack and yoe? Pls send me your resume to ganesh.s22@infosys.com along with dob
Same thing for me as well, I have recently attended 5 interviews in the past 3 months and have performed well. However, I have not received any feedback or reasons for not being selected..
Always mail to the recruiter why they didn’t select you despite of your good performance. If they give an honest reply then try for the company next time, if they don’t, the organisation is not good.
Just say them u put down paper because no other company was accepting three month notice period,if they cross questions why u want to change just say for one month u were sitting without project when u asked your manager he said it will take time therefore u want to change your company for seeking better opportunity
Thank you this sounds a good reason, I can make some story with this point
What would be the last working day mentioned by your company(ex) in your relieving letter? The exact date you got laid off or something different?
Do they ask for relieving letter?
I'm also facing same issues, I got laid off during Jan 2024, not getting much interview call.
Experience: 2 years
Role: automation tester (python, robot framework]
Mridula is there any role regarding servicenow available?
How about health issues or looking for higher education overseas but university backed off stories? Paperwork for both of it can be managed
Chief
I mean within 1 or 2 years higher education is believable
Go for direct referrals and tell them you took a mini break from work to explore new technologies and if you need a referral please DM me.
May I have direct referral please?
Just update them I have served notice period and keep some dummy offer letter from small organisation with minimum CTC which you are looking for.
Give them joining date after 15-20 days from today.
Market is not good so try to save your ass at this movement.
Yes you say like I am servicing the notice period till you get an offer .in first offer don’t ask for higher salary . After getting the first offer for 2nd you can ask higher salary.In the end you can say like I got released early .
I think to handle this kind of situation you should plan by saying the HR gave me the option weather u will you quite or should we lay off you forcible and due to market/budget constraints in the team I resigned myself and was released early! I guess there is no way there will written that you got laid off!! I hope you got all the required document from HR?
Yes it was a graceful exit. But you know the HRs will still decrease the salary when they came to know that you don't have offer and job.
Say I had offer, but last moment company revoked it.
Cannot share other company's offer letter due to Integrity issues I have signed with the company
Just mention that you didn't got much chance/opportunities to attend interviews during NP due WFO business model. And , now you are immediately available for any openings. It worked for me!!!
HR : Are you looking for job change ?
You : Yes
HR : Are you on Notice Period or any offers in hand ?
You : I have already served my notice period
HR : What was your LWD and why you left the company without any offer in hand ?
You : My LWD was xx/xx/xxxx and yes I have an offer or I should say had an offer in hand and joining date is already gone.
HR : Why you dint join that company?
You : I dint join that company because they were sending me to the XYZ location but they gave me ABC location. At last moment they reaveal the location change. Poor me. 🥴
HR : share the offer letter of that company.
You : Sorry I cannot share due to Integrity issues. But I can share the offer value in hand. I got 70 percent hike on my last drawn salary. You should give me at least 50 percent hike.
HR : ok when are you available for interview?
You : anytime 😁
This was the true case happened with one of my friend who is Java techie.
All the best bro , you will soon get a job , even far better than your last job in every aspect👍
Thank you, if other reasons don't work will use this.
Chief
Tell them real reason, not layoff but you can say lack of project, etc.
Yes I'll say the same, thank you
Getting laid off is not a crime and in the current IT market scenario layoff is not a surprise. Don't hesitate to tell this truth to recruiters. If they are really interested in your profile and if they really like to hire a person of your skill set, they will definitely circle back to you.
No need to afraid of HRs this much. They are more in need to hire a candidate. Also HRs know this hiring and firing in this IT world is their day in day out job.
One thing to note if layoff tag is curse, then being immediate joiner is a boon too. I am giving this gyan because i have faced simliar situation during the covid crisis.
Cheers..
If they have mentioned Immediate joinee in their Job post, ask them the same question bro. Then why it was mentioned as Immediate Joinee required.
If it was not mentioned tell them that you want to change for better opportunity.
