Is it a bad time to make a switch ,I talked to my sister who is in US and she says , it's not a good time to make a move as companies mostly are laying off and market is bad

What are your thoughts , could it be risky ?

If you are joining a service company, as long you as are billable , you need not worry. Lay offs woud impact mostly mid- senior levels and I don't think S.companies will lay off revenue generators at offshore. Talk to HR/Manager about the project you gonna work once you join. If you are joining a Product company, study about that.. company reviews, performance, history of lay offs, if possible connect with employees here in Fish bowl.
Meanwhile why you are looking for a change ?

As always, India comes almost last in line.
There were Corp reprgs in Nokia and layoff as well, but in EU/US regions and new positions came to India. So the layoff thing may work in favor of Indians mostly.

If US condition is bad, most of project these service companies have in India will be affected since projects are driven from Europe and US mostly. My suggestion to avoid risk, do check with hr and very clear on what project and role you will be working on.

in India or US ?

She says , it's bad in US , so it would get bad in India too and that's what I am concerned about

If you are technically sound and confident enough no problem..u can try

Hi Fishes,
I recently got shortlisted for a Product Manager position at Tracxn. There’s also an IPO coming up which is the reason I had applied.
But I have read some horrifying reviews about the company on Glassdoor, indeed and other forums.

I’m wondering whether it’s worth going through the interview process and I’d also like to hear opinions from anyone who has worked with the company or is aware of the company culture.

Thanks.
