People have been predicting (and some wishing for) a recession for nearly four years and it has yet to happen. And Monday's stock market jolt was also not much of an indicator. Stocks are up today, and they're up big on the year. Having said that, it doesn't mean people won't get laid off. The contagion of layoffs in the past year happened with no recession.

Im just tired of spending so much money. It’s honestly just getting ridiculous

I’m hoping we can weather it without too much craziness
I’m essentially stuck in my job tho 🤷🏻‍♂️

I think we all are stuck

like

Don’t think I will be laid off but you never know. I’m definitely stuck in my current job but want to move up elsewhere if I have the chance.

Right never know but honestly I have no hopes of moving up. A lot of companies’ profits just aren’t doing well

I feel relatively secure in my role because I’m a bench scientist so not as easily replaced or outsourced (for now). I’m not very high up the totem pole so there wouldn’t be a major cost savings with laying me off

Yea same here I feel very secure too because of those reasons

Yep! My department is doing decently and my leader is reluctant to lay people off. I think we've had enough attrition to necessitate letting go of more personnel

As someone who has been searching for over a year now, I have seen a big slowdown in interviews. That could be due to Summer, or the potential for a recession. I don't think high interest rates are helping the job search scene.

How's your Sunday going?

Cognizant put my candidature on hold after both rounds of interviews and HR ended up telling me that it’s coz of my current CTC. They will interview more candidates and accordingly get back to me . As of now, my candidature is “on hold”.

I was told that they’d have to give me a higher designation to justify my kind of salary. Right now my YOE fall in Manager band. How true is this?

The interviewer asked me my current CTC only and no discussions on expectations have happened till now.
