I get off on seeing people getting laid

funny

Anecdata doesn't reflect real trends. We are in an awkward moment in the economy that isn't reacting like any we've had before. The inflation is worldwide, I'm not sure what raising interest rates is doing for all the other causal reactions of inflation.

I feel like I keep hearing about layoffs and job market sucking, but scrolling through LinkedIn I’m seeing a whole lot of humble posts about being “proud to announce my next job!”

Do we think it’s the economy or simply the Q2/Q3 lull? My company seems to be surviving the rough waters, but always has a hiring freeze around now

Same here… I don’t know anyone that’s been laid off only people getting promotions or switching to their “dream job”. Except Huge I’m not aware of any agency layoffs at all

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline? How do you feel about you are not progressing anymore and seeing other people progressing in their career? I have no intention to make partner, but still feel a bit stuck not doing that much.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets). I did that for almost 2 years before making the switch. I miss sales, though. Does anyone have any connections to companies looking? I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!

Hi friends of fishbowl! A year ago I told myself no more agencies. Then I got a job at another agency and I’m basically hating my life more than ever right now. This place is not good for me mentally and I’ve only been here for 90 days. I should’ve listened to my gut but here we are. So my question is what job titles should I be targeting as a senior project manager if I want to go to to client side?
