Got a call from salesforce, ebay, hubspot, amazon. All did layoffs this month. Fire and hire? Or they gonna pause hiring ?
You must have useful skills. Like I keep saying, tech companies are having record profits. They are laying off fat, legacy projects, and low growth areas. Most companies are trying to free up budget to retool for the AI boom. If they are laying off to hire you, you must have good skills for the next tech economy. Can I ask your background, role, and skills?
I doubt that. I don’t even have any ai, ml stuff on my resume/profile. Just a regular java backend swe.
Replacing expensive with cheap labor. I see Amz hire mostly visas folks
They are the only ones who take the amazon jobs lol
Amazon/AWS literally has hundreds of thousands of employees. Just because one unprofitable area had 300 people axed doesn’t mean the other 99.9% of the business isn’t hiring. Pockets of the company are still growing very quickly.
It’s a salary adjustment more than a downsizing. These companies are making a lot of money and you see the TC numbers on here.
Sorry to hear bro, I hope you still say the same
Firing higher TC and replacing with cheaper TC.
What's ur YOE and highlight of your profile OP
Fwiw, HubSpot did restructuring in three departments: Marketing, Service, and UX. ~50 ppl were laid off (0.7% of total). Still hiring in Prod/Eng
This is accurate. I personally do not think this classifies as layoffs when compared to what other companies are doing. Less than 60 people vs hundreds or thousands.
Hire to fire would require planning. By now, it should be clear that all those in charge at those companies are 🤡 who don’t know what they are doing. But they take ReSponSabILitY.

Lot can happen. First thing I would do is ask these recruiters why are they hiring if they are firing?
