With all the ongoing talk about layoffs, I’ve been thinking — in your opinion, is it better to stay with a company that may lay you off and take the severance/unemployment while job hunting, or is it smarter to start actively applying elsewhere now and try to make a move before that happens? Does the loyalty matters

Always better to look for a job while you have a job. Job searching while unemployed, even with severance and UE benefits, is infinitely more demoralizing. That said, don’t jump at the first offer unless it’s worth it.

Agree

I would take the severance and take my time looking for my next opportunity.

Job market is really bad right now. Im ex deloitte and have been looking since january and still haven't landed anything. It takes a while so definitely worth for u to start looking

Trying to dodge layoffs is pointless. They’ll happen in both big companies that are “doing great” and small companies that are circling the drain. It sounds corny but it’s better to always keep your options open, keep your network warm, keep your resume up to date and always be looking for some new skills to add than try to predict which companies will lay off who and when they’ll do it. You’ll drive yourself mental.

Have you done the math to figure out how long your severance pay will be if RIF'ed. Sorry, assuming you are federal. If it's for at least 2 months you could wait unless the layoffs are going to flood your market.

It’s better for you to start actively applying.

I’m looking for some advice and/or to vent a little. I’ve been looking for a sales job specifically to pivot into tech sales and I’m getting rejected non stop and it’s really starting to weigh on me and ruin my confidence.

The positives are, I’m actually getting interviews- about 5 so far, I get to the later/last rounds but can’t seem to close the deal. I’ve tried learning from each experience, and taking that as growth for the next interview but it hasn’t worked.
I have 7yrs total sales exp.

This post is an alert message for anyone joining the Johnson & Johnson EMEA account for SAP & had Rakesh Sharma for their Manager round.

He is nothing less than a con man & will promise you a lot to make you join the account. After that he will put you in testing projects. If you ask for a release, he will either not release you or release with a very bad rating and influence other project managers to not take you into their projects.

You will be left with no choice other than leaving TCS.

Hey fishies! Been a GVP consultant for 3.5 years now, hard work, tough “in trouble” clients, and just haven’t had the chance to work with a team long term!

Non-MD so it’s hard to find companies that will hire me even though I teach in grad school and headed for my PhD. Any thoughts? Openings?
