Q1 of this year has been a bad start for the tech sector so far because of multiple layoffs in major companies. Although I’ve seen some people still get a job despite the odds. How has your Q1 been so far?

Managed to get a new job. Starting I'm a week or so.

But yes it's been tougher... and it's also been a lot more uncertain.

Thanks for sharing!

I've applied to countless jobs over the last year. From that I've gotten a half a dozen or so interviews. And from that ZERO offers. This is by far the toughest it's ever been. 5 or 10 years ago I couldn't shake the recruiters off with a stick. I could snap my fingers and have a new job in a week. The tech gold rush is over folks.

Hi everyone, a question to the tech industry at large.

Why are people so hesitant to hire disabled candidates?

I am a visually impaired practitioner in South Africa, with 7 years of experience, and as soon as recruiters or business owners hear/read that I'm disabled, the conversation gets awkward and I never hear from them again.

Career advice?

My performance reviews have been stellar, but my manager is starting to look to hire a senior to help me deliver projects as we do lack capacity right now.

I feel like I might be missing an opportunity to ask for a promotion and hire a junior instead.

Asking advice from a recruiter: I’ve been recently laid off :( This week I took some time to reflect, talk to friends and family. I want to be more thoughtful on my next move and although interviewing right away would be logical I feel I want to take a break and some time for myself. Take a month or two off working and use that time to plan thoughtfully on my next move. Would having that gap in my resume be an issue when I go back to the job market?
