I just checked my email and 5 days before the layoffs started at meta, I got an email from a recruiter asking for a up to date resume. YOE MID TC 🥜
Why do you think that they would give recruiters a heads up on layoffs?
Not every team has layoffs
That’s been true every round. Recruiters don’t know layoffs are coming, directors in engineering orgs don’t even know usually.
Where or how are these recruiters contacting you?
Email.
Mostly tinder
Maybe an attempt to not layoff people as some parts of org are looking to hire while others are looking to fire?
Why not ask the recruiter directly?
I think layoffs are for TPMs not swe
