Is anyone else thinking of leaving tech recruiting due to all of the layoffs? I may just switch industries to something more stable

Yes, it’s inevitable at this point. Only thing is the other industries pay significantly lower. Tech is six figures and these other companies are offering like 60k. It’s terrible

I was actually thinking about leaving and switching to another industry too. But I am still staying positive because that move is not safe at the moment. Tech recruiting is not the only industry that's laying off people.

I would love to but even those roles don't seem to be hiring.

Yeah unfortunately the recruitment/TA side is taking the biggest hit unfortunately but I'm holding on for dear life that we'll get through it!

I’m looking at going to BDR/SDR type roles. My company started off paying 36k + commission in 2021. Then a few months in did a market adjustment and increased us to 45k in 2022. I was promoted next to 52k and made around 61k TC last year. So since my company is boutique and ran by people who aren’t very good sales leaders I want a company where not only can I apply my skillet but also grow as a sales person.

Currently a first year staff in Risk Advisory in a Mid-Tier Firm hoping to move to Big 4 for either Risk or Cyber. When would be the most appropriate time to make the change? I heard that Senior Staff in mid-tier would most likely be hired as an “Experienced Hire” in Big 4. So would it be smarter to make the move now as a first year staff since I’ll be considered Experienced Hire anyway?
