The biggest spot I'm interested in within tech is Fintech (by a good margin), but given the current environment (layoffs), I'm a big worried. Guessing I should be looking at late stage startups / large banks?

Either is risky but in my experience at both I’d say be cautious with large banks because they tend to cut tech and ops first, if you do get on the business side in a revenue driving business unit that is performing well.

Interesting. As an ex strategy consultant, I'd be in a strategy role for the most part, either within a revenue generating group or Firmwide. Thoughts?

I was laid off a few weeks ago (🥲) and it made me realize I want to pivot into freelance for a bit and live abroad. I’ve done a bit of part time freelance, mostly social media content creation, but I’m so all over the place with what I should do to get started! How to pitch, who to reach out to, all those logistics. Any freelancers here with expert tips for beginners? 🙏😅

Hi!!
I am looking for a referral for Marketing/Product management role, lost previous job in a layoff.
YOE: 2.5

My boss fired me because i ask for clarification on my employment right.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada

Anyone worried about layoffs?

Hello fellow designers!

I was laid off back in August and I have been trying to get a product/UX/UI job ever since then. With the recession and all of the crazy things that are happening right now it has been even harder.

Is anyone hiring a mid-level Product/UX/UI designer?
I have 3 years of experience as a UX/UI Designer and I am available to start working immediately! (Remote work is preferred since I live in Phoenix, AZ and there are not a lot of tech jobs here)

TIA ♥️
