Not worried at all. We have survived ups and downs in the economy numerous times. The sun will rise tomorrow, children will be born, and the seasons will continue to change.

Cycles of life will continue and we continue to survive.

Also for consulting a downturn isn’t typically bad because there will be a lot of cost and restructuring programs. What really hurts consulting is uncertainty - if companies don’t know where things are going it’s better to hold off on that consulting project until you get more clarity.

Often in downturns we cut hiring more than do layoffs. Graduating in a recession sucks. Cutting young, smart and cheap resources is rarely necessary. Layoffs aren't unknown but focus on learning and delivering and you will be fine.

Has anyone taken part of the education reimbursement program?

I’m already wearing multiple hats when it comes to work. Does anyone have insight on how it works/what it’s like? Thanks in advance!

While negotiating the offer the recruiter came back to me and said "We’re working through headcount planning right now. The position you applied to is closed". Looks like a hiring freeze. Does this mean layoffs are coming up? What about the candidates (like myself) who cleared HC and was in negotiating process?

I work in insurance. I was working for an Allstate agent and was fired the day after my grandmothers funeral for being “unenthusiastic in our morning meeting”. Now I’m having anxiety searching for a job. I don’t think I want to sell anymore yet every single recruiter I interview with says I should, that I have a “salesperson mentality”. I’m burnt out. Has anyone else felt this way? How did handle it? Is there a different career path I can take or am I destined to sell insurance forever?

I got laid off in January and have been trying to find a new job since. I keep making it to the phone interview and sometimes a second interview, but always get ghosted. It’s so disheartening.

I have too much experience for an internship, and I have too little to be the top choice for copywriter roles. I know I’m a good writer, I know what I’m capable of, but it’s so exhausting trying to convince people. They always like my book but it’s never enough to get the gig. What can I do?
