Some companies start their FY in October and start interviewing again now but slowed down mid august through end of September. That was my experience anyways. And I’ve noticed a significant decrease in LinkedIn messages since early august compared to the last 6 months/year+.

like

Maybe the decrease is bc all the recruiters are 1) busy writing posts about how hard their life is, or 2) laid off 🙃

Tbh, I’m so confused by why they keep looking for recruiting roles. Like I get that it’s their speciality and you can’t just change careers overnights, but it just seems crazy to me bc recruiting is always first to be cut. Now more ppl are competing for fewer jobs.

Like time to pivot!

Beginning of year after budgets are replenished. At year end, no one is giving up their bonus eligibility & companies don’t want to pay extra compensate for someone sacrificing that.

At least that’s how it is @ my company. Curious to hear other responses.

Would love to get your input on this but how do you guys feel about consulting, especially with a STEM background? I have worked on studies where we make recommendations that anybody with a basic scientific/engineering knowledge will say “yea, no f-ing sh*t. We want to do that too. But it’s impossible to achieve from technical perspective with the money we have. You don’t think we already thought of that?”
