Why is this? Is it cause the mom & pop shops are getting more business and/or the larger agencies are fragmented in their solutions for clients?

like

i think it’s fragmentation of the space and fees getting lower and lower for smaller scopes of work.

It’s a 4th layoff. Delayed because the severance then hits in 2018. Makes the numbers look better

Super bad outlook based on this because usually financial people like to start the year with a smaller payroll if they can and if scopes are worked out in time. My guess is this means a few things: scopes weren’t signed before the end of year when they should have been, they came in lower than expected, and future profit projections are tighter so they are trying to manage with less where they can. Not a good sign for the rest of the year

Remember one thing - If some companies are laying off employees then it's equally a good chance for the other companies to get talented resource . Here things will remain balanced mostly and there's no need to fear . Not all companies do layoff at the same time. You may end up getting a 100% hike too. Just believe in yourself and focus on your skillset, time to brush up and pull up your socks. Stay safe , stay positive !

Is it good to hpe seeing current layoffs. Is there good work life balance? Job security?

Didn't have top grades, wasn't on law review. Worked at a midsize firm and was laid off in march-- have about 3 years experience in a hot practice area. Have been applying and had some interviews at larger shops but nothing has come of it. I'm still applying to roles (not many out there) in my area but coming to the realization based on number of larger firm rejection letter that I may not find a role. Where would you go from here if you were me? Was making good money at the midsize...

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

When should I reach out to the recruitment attorney leading up to my start date? Or should I? (Haven't spoken since May) Should I bring up the salary or just assume its higher?
