Rant - being laid off and trying to bounce back is so difficult in this market. I have been laid off 4 times in the past 2 years and I’m currently bracing for my current company to be shut down since we don’t have funding. I’ve applied to variety of roles and I keep getting rejected… even the over qualified ones. I have a feeling it’s the case only because of my multiple short stints… that were out of my control 😫 I know recruiters are known to be resilient but man when can we catch a break

So sorry this happened to you! I’ve began writing cover letters and including why I am no longer with my current company so hopefully that will help me get interviews

About rolling off my project with no new project opportunity yet.

Also over 90% chargeability and great reviews, but seems like that may not matter with the recent layoff stories I’ve read....

Hello friends, IT'S URGENT.
please help me
I need to choose between nagarro (WFH) and optum(WFO), tomorrow is my joining.
I am Java backend developer.
Optum - 29L fixed + 6L variable+ 5L JB (WFO).
Nagarro - 31.5 fixed + 1.5L project allocation bonus (permanent WFH)
Considering WLB and job security, plus I want to move to company like FAANG(fintect) in few months.

Anyone has insights into whether we can claim depreciation for our “home office” due to WFH? Not an expert here but looks like it’s for self employed individuals only, but maybe the individual tax experts in this community can help everyone out a bit 🤪

General question, and I suspect the answer is no. Are there any employment or exec comp-related jobs in the entertainment industry? Or, are there any law firms purely focused on entertainment that have a comp/employment/benefits group? I’m at a large firm with a lot of high profile artists, but I’d like to narrow my practice down to entertainment.

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment. I’m having a lot of trouble getting used to how unstructured the startup is. It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?
