My job is returning to 5 days a week in the office amidst the tech layoffs. Did we lose our bargaining power? A year ago companies were competing, offering WFH, and now with the layoffs, companies gained all the power back. I'm thinking of quitting, but all these posts about the market got me really scared. I only have about 4 years of experience.

I wouldn't currently quit without something lined up. If it's really bad and you feel unsafe, quit. If you can hang for a while, start applying.

you rather be unemployed than work from an office?

It's peanuts only if you're a rich person. You're just arguing semantics. Yes I would absolutely rather be unemployed than be forced to go to the office, but again I'm not an idiot so it's not going to happen on a whim. You do have to prepare for it if it's a personal choice. How do you know I'm not actively preparing?

Hello Everyone,

I need recommendation for a Project Manager role. I have about 4 + years experience managing projects and in consulting.

I am about concluding the google certificate in project management, and one unique think I bring into any team is my strategic thinking and ability to solve problems in record time.

I am based in Canada and a remote role will be great.

I anticipate your responses and recommendations thank you very much.
