You think tech companies are only laying off H1B?

And what makes you think that the likes of google or Apple prefer H1Bs? This victim mentality is sickening. Works at Deloitte and think meta should hire them

I would imagine companies have factored these people into their total numbers. We are talking thousands of people getting laid off per company, many of whom are perfectly fine performers who are even directly responsible for bringing in revenue such as myself.

We may eventually get to a point where companies realize that they moved the needle too far towards "AI optimization," and hiring picks up a bit, for which I am hopeful of as I'd like to get back to work, but to your question, h1b visas are a very small piece of the equation.

Companies aren’t laying off H1B workers that they don’t need to lay off just to make room for citizens who will require 10-25% higher salary.

Asking advice from a recruiter: I’ve been recently laid off :( This week I took some time to reflect, talk to friends and family. I want to be more thoughtful on my next move and although interviewing right away would be logical I feel I want to take a break and some time for myself. Take a month or two off working and use that time to plan thoughtfully on my next move. Would having that gap in my resume be an issue when I go back to the job market?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Hi everyone am new to fishbowl and this is my first post so please bear with me.
I am in the phase of career transition from being a RF test Engineer/test engineer into the cybersecurity space and looking for hands-on training to hone new skills to prepare for real life job experience.

I am in a tech IC position. One of friends switched to FAANG by converting the profile to consultant profile. The friend who might have less tech knowledge than me is now in FAANG and earning more. If the end goal would be that the friend might one day be a product manager and me an engineering manager taking instructions from the same friend, isn't consultant profile an easier path to growth. I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

What can I except a product manager role interview questions to be?
