I have accepted an offer from Intel last week. Looks like there is an ongoing hiring freeze at Intel. Do I need to be worried? Should I contact the HR? Note: I have signed the offer last week and this week I have submitted documents required by the immigration team . Grade: 8 YoE: 8 years New TC: 260k #tech #intel #Hiringfreeze
What is your current TC ? First of all self check whether it is worth jumping in these uncertain times.
Fyi, I have accepted the offer .
It all starts with Hiring freeze. If things doesn’t move good then the next step is layoffs.
Intel is crazy… when they badly in need of resource… they just need a person with 2 legs, 2 hands and don’t about brain… when they want to layoff.. they use algo blindly
FWIW Intel has been on and off hiring freezes since forever it feels like. I joined around a hiring freeze years ago. Hiring freezes definitely slow things down especially at Intel but wouldn’t be unduly worried if you have the written offer.
