Is congizant doing layoffs?
Hi fishes,
Any guess how many people are laid off from Publicis sapient in past few days? Really scared for my future as I'm also under probation period and deeply regret for my choice of joining this firm...I don't understand why were they recruiting peeps when they were short of projects. Publicis Sapient

It took my a little over 6 months. But I would add an asterisk to that since I'd said I really only looked hard and applied hard for about a month. Then it was just waiting for interviews and going through them etc etc. I think it will partially depend on your skillset and what your quality of work was at your former position. + Why you were laid off.
Depends on how much money you have saved and if you want to dip into those funds. Also if you're burnt out and need a break, that warrants one too.
I'm in saving mode and wouldn't want to touch too much savings. I also don't need a break from work. So I would start looking immediately because it may take some time to land a new role.
As for how long it takes, I think it depends on the role and the location. From listening to other people's experiences, it has ranged from 1-8 months. It varies. But I don't think your team should jump the gun and start looking now. It's a lot of effort if nothing happens. And you may end up losing people if they find a better job...
There are thousands of very talented people out there looking for jobs so I wouldn’t wait longer than a week to start looking. I’ve seen it take 3+ months for people to find something new. I’ve also seen people get desperate and start to check out different roles just for the sake of having income. It’s not pretty right now. I saw a PM role posted for a company the other day and it had over 1,500 applicants. It wouldn’t hurt to start casually looking if you are still employed.
