how much months salary does company pay after layoff?

What are some remote side gigs I can do right now? I was recently laid off without any notice and am trying to earn money until I can start my next position.

I have been going on interviews and noticed 2 department heads already assume I was laid off or fired due to a 4 months gap. I explained I left my last role due to short term health issues that have been resolved. Not even sure how to respond when they assume. Any advise? Thanks!

Hi Fishes !!
I have joined american express india last month band 30 and now I heard some news that amex had layoff their employees during January by giving excuse of reorg.
I am quite shocked to hear that as I have rejected many big Mnc Offers just for amex policies. Can someone help me is it real do amex layoff their employees very frequently??

I know no one is exempt from getting laid off or fired. However are there non-technical roles that are more "recession proof" than others?

Hi fishes,
Looking for a job change in sales industry, currently working with byjus and having to much toxic environment these days due to layoffs . Kindly recommend .

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.

Has anyone been fired and then subsequently received unemployment? I was let go this week and am wondering if that is realistic to expect. Thanks!

Have you ever been fired before? Not a lay off, but fired.

How’d you get your mojo back?

How are layoffs decided at B4 and Midtier? Is it from on high (i.e. your utilization and outlook is shit). Is it the partner(s) you work under being like oh yeah fuck this guy, let him go and let's keep Debby who hasn't billed dick in a dick year. Just curious. Recently promoted, but drunkenly pessimistic.

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?

If you get fired due to performance issues can you still file for unemployment? If so, will you get enough money for rent and food?

I think 24-hour news media channels have had a detrimental effect on people’s news consumption habits, and have negatively impacted the quality and integrity of the industry at large. Any opinions on the matter?

Any threat of layoffs at EY? Specifically for consultants?

Crypto noob — I plan to start investing in crypto currency.... yes, yes, tell me more about how silly I am to start this late :)
I did some research on the Block chain technologies and cryptocurrency market and here are my top 3s, and I’d love to hear your opinions. I have <5k to start. Yup, broke.
Best system for trading/asset exchange: 1) gdax, 2) Gemini, 3) coinbase.
Best places to invest now : 1) ether, 2) Litecoin, 3) Ripple or NEM. Given I have only 5k, BTC is too late.
Mistakes/pitfalls to avoid: 1) day trading, 2) not keeping up (news, red flags, market research), 3) tracking circulation

Again, serious responses appreciated!

May sound really weird but I’m convinced my wrist size changes dramatically all the time. They’re already really small but today my watch was loose and in a week it could be back to normal...

I interviewed for a position at Microsoft recently and I'm a bit confused by the experience. The recruiter wanted to know my exact salary at my current company...He said hiring managers will not even look at my resume until I share my numbers. I declined to share my current comp and he said if I wanted to move forward I have to share that info.

Do I have to disclose this? And is there a way for them to verify it if I say a higher number?

Was reached out from an Amazon Recruiter for a Program Manager role. Got past the online assessment and now they are asking for total compensation expectations (inclusive of RSUs, bonuses). Any idea of what is a fair number to put? Especially since the salary is no longer capped. Currently a Senior consultant with 6.5 YOE, making 116K.
