I recently interviewed for L7 EM at Google and had 4 great interviews and one not so great system design. I submitted external referrals all of which gave great feedback. The recruiter said the next step is team match/interviews and then the HC. Anyone in a similar situation? What was the result? Google
Hi Everyone, I am trying to apply for a Technical Support role at Dropbox I’m entering all the required fields but there seems to be an issue, when I hit submit after filling the form, it doesn’t submit and throws error ‘Looks like you left this blank! Please fill out this required field’ when all the fields are entered already (I have checked so many times, and filled the form from scratch several times too). Anyone from Dropbox who can put me in touch with HR or suggest what I should do next?
There’s tons of demand for engineers willing to work field roles for construction projects.
Yes get a government job
As far as the US, yes. Layoffs in STEM defense contracting jobs are almost unheard of. We don’t care about recessions over here when we have access to Uncle Sam’s seemingly limitless supply of money within the defense budget.
Goverment jobs will pay less but will be the closest to bulletproof you’ll find. I wouldn’t recommend academic-it is calmer but your job can still be expendable. Industry pays better. Regarding industry, however, there is a sweet spot between being a low paying pawn who they can discard, an overtly high payed employee who can be let go because he isn’t needed and they need to consolidate budgets, and the middle ground who makes enough to live but not enough to send alarms running down the pipeline. Another option is becoming one of the main bosses- such an executive director of operations or a CEO. This comes from experience after having lived through the 2009-2010 Pfizer massive layoffs. I would also advice the location of the plant/branch within the company. For example: during that wave, branches in expensive cities such as California, NY and Michigan closed while smaller branches in more rural areas remained opened.
I second this. Rural areas are the way to go. However, most young professionals now a days want that big city life….so allow those people to go down that path while you secure your work in a smaller and more quaint branch. Pay is the same. Sometimes those pay off more than others.
No. What's your point?

What’s essential?
Yes there are recession-proof jobs
I can guide you
Which industry you work in ?
Licensing compliance is up there, but we are all replaceable.
Accountants are always in demand during a recession. Companies penny pinching to stay afloat, going into administration/receivership or being bought out.
What is this recession you speak of? We just finished our best year on record.
In all seriousness, STEM jobs attached to monolithic companies in core economic sectors are a good bet.
