Offered a job today but there’s a few things. It’s a bit under what I was targeting salary wise I haven’t even gotten to meet the manager for the role because the entire team was laid off and is being re hired. They’re a tech company with some top clients- very small and only 10 employees but downsizing still. Is this a major red flag and do I accept? I like that it’s a remote work from anywhere but I don’t even know who would be managing me and I’m still in other interview rounds. Do I accept?

If you can wait, I would and continue interviewing. It sounds like there is a lot of upheaval at this company. 100% remote work requires a lot of organization and planning and if your direct manager isn’t good at it, they can make your life miserable. Are the benefits the company offering any good?

I’d say yes. You can back out of an offer if you find something you like better later. There are some red flags for sure but who knows when you’ll come across another offer.

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea. One of my buddies works for a big IT company and literally just sits on meetings all day. No one really contributing to anything other than agreeing to whatever the speaker is saying. Are these kind of jobs finally being exposed? Six figure employees getting paid to sit and bounce ideas off each other?

Additional Posts in Tech Recruiting

Good Morning all,

Since I pivoted into TA (from the Wild West known as Finance) Tech Recruiting has always been the goal. But I’m having a hard time finding a way to get into that space (I do understand there’s a hiring crisis). Nevertheless, does anyone know of tech companies that are hiring? I may be low on the experience side so I’m willing to look at contract/ entry roles as well. Also, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Or any advice for a short term solution?

I think one of the candidates I put forward is a pathological liar and lied about his background. Should I just let him fail during his technical interview portion or should I bring it to the attention of the hiring manager?

I’ve recently left my job (unhappy with it) and am applying for new work. I have a few irons in the fire at the moment. I’m curious about a trend I am seeing: I like to think I’ve well documented my abilities and functions in my CV, as well as my portfolio. I’ve noticed that for some of these jobs that I can check every single box in the job description, I won’t even get an interview. I’m wondering if many of these jobs are posted for internal hires, but some stay open for weeks. What gives?
