I haven't been in the industry super long, but haven't had great luck - 3 month internship - 7 months at startup (was happy, everyone got laid off) - 7 months at medium size company (got demolished by COVID, was happy but my team eliminated) - 1y1m at MS (left because very unhappy) - soon about to ...Read more
PayPal is expected to have massive layoffs so I started applying. Recruiters will ask why I’m leaving so what should I say. I have been at current job for a year so I don’t want to be considered a job hopper Tc 230k

I got layoff (stay for only 3 months) before I start my graduate school. Do I state that I was layoff on my cv so recruiter/hm would know I wasn’t a job hopper? Thanks! #tech #layoff
Recently laid off, I have 2 YOE at 2 separate companies. I have 6 months of savings but no safety net (parental or otherwise) beyond that whatsoever, and I’m not looking to cut it close. Would appreciate engineering referrals of any kind! PS: not a job hopper. I had to leave my first job for person...Read more
For current job hoppers now. Are you starting to consider stability factors like: layoff history, profitability, burn rate, cash reserves, stock volatility/performance. In offers more? TC: $285k/2.5
I find that recruiters and hiring managers are at best indifferent, and at worst, don’t believe me due to the layoffs at my previous companies (“they must be a job hopper”) Is there a better way to handle this topic? TC: 260k #engineering #software #swe #layoffs
Hopper did layoffs today. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations for remote-first/remote-friendly companies currently hiring for senior engineers before I head into the chasm of LinkedIn jobs? Preferably base of 200k+, startup or public doesn’t matter much. Not interested in RTO due to rapidl...Read more

This article says - The ‘Great Resignation’ is now the ‘Great Regret’: 80% of job hoppers wish they hadn’t quit their old roles, with Gen Z the most regretful. I think they are over exaggerating the impact of layoffs. What do you think? https://finance.yahoo.com/news/great-resignation-now-great-re...Read more
I got layoff in June. I am planning on attending Grace hopper conference virtually. Can anyone suggest if it is worth it. I know if you go in-person companies even offer you job there only but not sure how good virtual is going to be for job search. Thank you.
I am located in Asia and wanting to apply to Hopper. I passed the on-site round last April but stopped there to join Indeed because I thought Indeed is more layoff-proof. Turns out I was wrong. I can't go back to the recruiter from Hopper whom I talked with because he was laid off. Any help would ...Read more
We’ve seen interview performance decline substantially this year compared to previous years. IMHO, in prior years the vast majority of job hoppers were top candidates who went out of their way to prep and max the benefits of switching roles. Now with mass layoffs, the industry as a whole is more br...Read more

Current TC: 260 New TC: 450 (Base salary increase of 50%) Current company is not as risky, solid WLB, good team. New company is doing ok, but I think is riskier in terms of layoffs.

I joined my 6th company in 8 years, I know I had too many switches but that was because of failed startups and layoffs due project closure. I was always unlucky in making a right job choice. My resume looks like that of a hopper but in reality I want to station at one company and contribute to my f...Read more

I was laid off a couple of months ago. If I take an interim SWE job that I don't love but that just brings money in, do I have to disclose that while I keep looking? Or can I just work there in secrecy for a few months while I find something better and then permanently leave it off my resume? Is the...Read more
Joined Amazon earlier in the year and was initially happy. I've been wanting to switch job families from Data Engineering to Data Science. However, the project I was on to make that switch was canceled and it won't be in scope soon. The layoffs are also not making me feel good at all. I'm in one o...Read more
