PM is irrelevant role and will die in next 2-3 years.
Considering Dell but they have a hiring freeze until July 11th and I don't know if I should wait!? Dell TC: 170k Current TC: 160k YOE: 15 Location: Canada
If you don't mind sharing name of the other company?
Ericsson
Is the freeze going to continue?
Good question. Don't know.
Not a great sample size but I asked two current employees whether the freeze will continue past 7/11 and both replied they haven’t heard anything. That said, my recruiter is still ghosting me so who knows
Freeze extended till August with a freeze on Internal hiring as well.
Till August as in Aug 1 or Aug 31?
Would like to also know when in August?
I double-checked with my manager. The external hiring freeze is indefinite. For internal hiring, the executives will be doing due diligence in the month of August.
If you don't mind me asking what does due diligence mean?
Meaning they want to access the situation make a decision based on upcoming recession.
Dell hiring freeze (internal and external) is indefinite for now. Only hiring BC roles with SVP approval.
What is BC?
Business critical
Indefinite freeze per an SVP’s staffer
Run from Dell; take the other offer
Care to elaborate 🙏
Dell is horrible . Don’t do it
Why?
Low pay, dinosaur leadership, layoffs, no new technology, I could go on and on..
I was told by a former C-Level executive to never breathe any specifics on Dell. You can’t even take pictures of your kids when they are onsite for the Halloween kid parade. I’ve already said too much. Take it from SpinFlip.
What? Why would Dell care about pictures of kids in Halloween costumes?? 🤔
Depending on where in the building the pictures are taken, you could capture something in the pic that compromises Dell’s development projects.
170K for a leadership role seems low, especially with 15 YoE. is this is at the Dell 5G team in Ottawa?
Yep
