One of my close friend lost his job and is not able to find next one. How can I support him other than providing referral?

Do you know anyone at any of the competitors? You could talk to them and see if they need anyone. Other than a referral, there's not much else you can do, it's really going to be on the shoulders of your friend. I hope they find something soon.

Was he at SF ? What type of work he did in the past ?

He was in Amazon. AWS comsultant

Other than providing a referral, be there for him emotionally. He's probably stressed out about the situation and could use a friend to lean on. Help him search for other jobs and send opportunities his way.

Thanks. He applied to about 200+ openings and got only 3 calls. Market is brutal these days.

This is so thoughtful of you. Everyone needs a friend like you and I assure you that just being there and showing you care means the world. I wish him all the best.

Thank you for your wishes.

You're a great friend. You can send your friend any job postings you come across that will align with your friend's experience.

Give him money. 5 figure check would be nice.

He has money to survive a year. Will see after that.

Well, you don't really have any control over their job finding process, so the best you can do is just keep supporting them emotionally through everything.

If your friend needs help with his job search, offer to help him with his resume, cover letter or interview skills. You can also help him network with people in his field. Connect him with someone.

Hi Fishes,

Is there a minimum tenure that one has to serve in ZS to ask for office transfers? (within India)

And how often do they get accepted and the general sentiment by the management when one asks for it?

Assuming that my team works from Pune (and i like the job scope) but would like to relocate to Bangalore office (hometown) once the team stabilizes and processes are in place.

Would love to talk with you on DMs if you have any experience similar to this.

TIA!

I don’t think I have enough YOE to go for a program architect role at SF otherwise I’d be interested.
