I don’t know anything about that - but for anyone who was laid off, I was laid off a few months ago and now literally make double my old salary. So there’s hope!

Please can you explain why this happens? I know this happens at anomaly too and it’s shitty for all the staff. Why do some people just get their contract ended after a significant periods of time, without warning? Thanks.

I hear NY and Chicago offices.

Hi everyone, unfortunately I was recently affected by a layoff at my company. About 30% of their marketing department along with other departments were all let go. I have 3+ professional experience with product marketing, digital marketing, and event management. If you know of anyone looking for marketing specialists or just want to network in general let me know. I would love to connect!

Should I renege offer from MBB?

An MBA recent grad. I signed with MBB last year. However, I have always wanted to do tech PM. I couldn’t find PM job in Fall and just signed MBB offer I have. I recently got an FAANG offer. It’s PM function, hard to break in with consulting experience. I declined the new offer during interview stage and again after they gave me initial offer, but it is coming back with 80k more in annual compensation. It made me so torn!! Should I renege MBB offer?

Looking for respectful ways to manage helping people in need of a job or seeking mentorship. I get 3-4 requests a week from mutual contacts asking if I can connect with a former colleague (always broad). Typically the ask is a 30-45 min call. I’ve been laid off, I know how hard a time it is, but equally am working long hours, parenting and want to reserve time for those I know. How do others manage these extra calls into their weeks?

Hi ! Looking for advice. I’ve been with a company in BC for 2.5 years, started support role, promoted to smb AE a year ago. salary is 65k with uncapped commission. We recently did layoffs, I was kept however there have been changes & meeting quota has become difficult & we have a way heavier workload. The perks are amazing but I need to make more money. Do you think I could get a role with more money with my experience that’s fully remote even in this “recession”..thoughts?

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.

Has anyone been laid off from a Big Law firm and invited to apply back at a later date and actually got hired back. In my discussion with HR when they told me I was getting laid off I asked if there was a way they could move to another practice group..she told me there was nothing open at the moment but I can apply when something opens up.
Was she just being nice or do I actually have a shot?

Hello friends on H1B.
Had filed an amendment for current client. got RFE in sept and now got denial.
What does that mean? Do I have to leave the country? or can I still work on previous LCA?

Tell me if this is selfish or not. I adore my family, but since they're doing a very lowkey Christmas situation this year, I really would rather take a weeks vacation on my own. Obviously the holidays are about spending time with those you love, but I'm tired! And I see my entire family at least once a month for a group dinner. Am I a bad daughter/sister if I choose vacation this one time?

However, we had the same career goals, and it seems like she wants to move in the city where I live to have better opps and have similar lifestyle as mine
