Is recruiting on hold? Had momentum leading into tariffs. Inbox is a ghost town now. Afraid to send follow ups in case something blows up later in the day. What’s the game plan now? Thanks in advance.

I suppose common sense tells us that a lot of places are doing the hiring equivalent of quiet quitting. Nobody wants to announce a hiring freeze, but it's just happening. Or, at best, firms are slow walking anything that might be in the works. The game plan now should be like the old poster advised, keep calm and carry on.

I’ve noticed the same thing lately! Like everything slowed down so suddenly for me a month or so ago. I’d say follow up if you feel comfortable, but maybe add a note acknowledging the uncertainty with tariffs. Keep your focus on building relationships while things stabilize. Anyone else seeing the same dip?

I been going through the same thing here. I’m just going to lay low for a bit and see if things get better 2-3 months from now.

Hello, I am in USI GES tax at DUSI. I love my job but not my team and mgmt anymore. I'm a performer and I'm dumped with work of 2 ppl while others are searching for work. I am burned out.

I resigned and accepted a job with EY GDS with a huge pay bump that DUSI can't match but I also gave up my potential promotion for 2023.

I've been feeling bad about putting my papers down and letting go off my promotion but I am really tired. I took up this job as an escape.

Did i do the right thing?
