I unfortunately was part of 2 layoffs in under a year and since then have found myself struggling. I took 2 months off from my last layoff to recover from the burnout and have been seriously applying the past month, but have been receiving little to no traction. I'm starting to wonder if the last 10 years of my career were a waste as I'm trying to pivot out of my current industry, while trying to not feel like I'm failing whole others around me are getting hired.

It seems as though landing and keeping a good job is more about being able to play the game than do the actual job. As someone who’s been looking for years while still employed, it’s incredibly frustrating. I’m sure being in multiple layoffs must be even more so.

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
