What’s the reality of the job market now?
Layoff seems on pause or at least just limited to a couple companies Even though some companies had 2 rounds of layoffs, they still have way more employees than 2021, 2022. Many posts here saying they got a job with higher TC than before layoff in previous job. Many polls showing most impacted people got new jobs within 2, 3 months There are many companies didn’t lay off engineers at all in 2022, 2023, Apple Roblox Pinterest Uber, etc It seems to me the job market now is similar to pre-covid
I’m not so sure about the 2-3 months stat. At least not as far as finding an equal or better role
Can I DM you? I have some questions about Figma.
From what I’ve seen, many companies still have limited hiring or hiring freezes. I’ve been one of the unlucky ones since I got laid off in November and still haven’t gotten anything after 4 months.
Good luck brother
Same boat
It's not good..seems like pay range came down for many positions
More like pay has become realistic.
I had an offer 21 days after my surprise layoff. There are people still hiring out there.
Yeah. Thats what i heard from people too
Where
It's normalized. Which, to those that only now 2016 onwards, is bad, but for those that have been around for a while, it's about an average job market for tech. Newbies will have to prove themselves or take jobs that don't pay as much, and experienced people won't be thrown offer after offer, but will most likely find a decent job.
As a newbie, how do you move up in this market
I was just contacted by a Roku recruiter so you are probably fine;)
Really? Which location and what kind of position if you do not mind sharing?
ML Ranking
Layoff season is later this month I'm guessing
How much later?
Coupled with earnings
I think next round of layoff may come from startups and smaller companies; these companies hire a lot recently and they are not making more money … we will see ….
Offers are down about 20-30% for the same job compared to 2022 based on my narrow slice of life. Note some companies never increased their offers in 2022 so for them they were 20-30% lower than their peers already. These companies probably didn’t change their offers that much.
Its not good. But it's not Armageddon either.
