Look how much fun our consultants are having, it almost makes you forget we're about to do massive layoffs 🙃

Any word on layoffs at JPM?

Hi,

Is this a good time to join HP? As they have recently announced 6000 layoffs in 2 years.

Just got laid from my job today due to restructuring... have worked on Coty inc, BMW USA and Clifbar. Any leads or advice is much appreciated...

I heard from my head that there is a lot of slowdown in VW Germany... There is Hiring freeze, level freeze and all ... And soon that will spillover to india. So be prepared for very less hikes in coming cycle :( Also automotive sector in general is struggling with tesla laying off 10% workforce recently. Maybe time to make a move? What do you say fishes?

Hello, I was laid off last Friday as a Technical Program Manager. Any advice on what to do or if you know anyone hiring Program Managers / Sr. Program Managers / Technical Program Managers?

I work cross-functionally with 10+ teams in the org mainly supporting Product & Engineering to create and launch product features.

Any input is greatly appreciated, thank you!

Hi I got a 4 rating this year, in 2 parameters and in one parameter 3. Any danger of a potential layoff. Am a business analyst as societe Generalle GSC Bangalore

Anybody who got laid off in the current wave and looking for a referral in Zalando in Germany, feel free to DM me. Happy to help.

Is there a risk of accepting a role with Upstart currently? I seen a 7% layoff recently for hourly employees but I would be salaried. I am well aware it’s a risk in tech overall right now but curious on thoughts thanks!

How is everyone feeling amidst these layoffs? Hope everyone is taking care of themselves!

The severance package at Meta for laid off employees almost makes it nice to be laid off depending on what your personal situation is….. personally wouldn’t mind getting 4+ months of full pay to reset and think about what’s next 😬

Does anyone from EY have insight on layoffs? I'm seeing horror stories from other firms but haven't heard anything about EY layoffs. (Manager, FSO-Advisory-Risk)

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

I asked for a raise and instead got laid off. Told that after looking into finances not only can they not afford a raise they cannot afford me. But I know for a fact they are replacing me with an Agency that say they can run our Social Media for 500pcm. Is this normal practice these days?

Hi, received an offer from another Big4 in Amsterdam (currently working in Eastern Europe), but relocating, I’m concerned about potential layoffs in the coming period being the last to join the team.

I was just laid off from a fintech startup after 4.5 months as their first ever IP attorney. Anyone have any leads on other IP roles. I’m soft IP/marketing focused but also have patent experience.

Given the outbreak, are places actually going to be hiring right now? Recently laid off from 9-5 and my freelance is starting to fizzle.

Anyone expecting layoffs due to COVID-19? There’s an indefinite hiring freeze and most promotions and have been paused. 👀

I got laid off today 🥲 would appreciate anyone who can help refer UX or product designer roles. 🙏

Any law firm salary reductions in Canada yet?

I’ve recently been interested in the idea of moving from Canada(Toronto) to the US(California) with McCann. I am wondering if this is common & if anyone else has made move before with tips?

How do you wind down after a rough day?

I have been offered 14.5 lpa fixed and 1 lac joining bonus for SDET profile? Should I join ? They will deploy me at MasterCard client.

How am I supposed to deal with priorities changing daily and constantly having new tickets added to an already planned sprint? Is this normal?

Anyone a manager? I’m recently diagnosed (26F) and I can’t help but beat myself up everytime I fall short of my to do list. Makes me feel like a huge disservice to my team. I’ve been trying vitamin D and working out, but it makes my “highs” and “low” SO extreme. The simplest things are so complex in my mind.

If anyone feels similar, how do you manage these feelings? I’m personally considering switching to an individual contributor role, but can’t help but feel like a disappointment if I do.

Hi,
Any opening for SAP Basis HANA domain. Experience :3.6+yr.

Please refer me

Why do I literally chew my nails off throughout the day. Need to know so I can stop

I think I may have made a huge mistake today. My skip level director sent out an email about something and asked us for feedback. I sent back a note and provided some. One of the things I said was that our job satisfaction might be improved if we could do more of X kind of work instead of Y kind of work that we do so much of in our group. The next thing I know, I get a ping from his EA to set up time for me to chat with him and my director tomorrow. I am getting in trouble tomorrow, right?

What matters more early in your career, agency name recognition or project experience?

Hi, I'm new here, and I didn't know there was a dating feature but it seems cool.

Hello Fishes,

Looking for European and UK based companies for QA role

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

I'm studying proton therapy (radiation) and it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen. The fact that we can target tumors with so much accuracy is incredible

Any ideas for side gigs I can start online? Do drop shipping websites work? YouTube automation channel etc? Any other ideas welcome

Received an offer from Deloitte consulting SC - comp just slightly higher than now. Did well with a FAANG and was told by HM that he is trying to get funding to hire me but it will take up to 8 weeks or sooner. Should I wait for FAANG or just go for D as SC? Currently manager at PWC - TC 180.
