Most recruiters calling you unsolicited are either Indian or strain, Spammers or scammers

it's crazy how everyone (companies) were saying AI wouldn't kill jobs..

those were business people sides of the companies not knowing how impactdul generational AI would be fueled by the over hiring during covid..

now the repercussions are companies cutting jobs to be "more competitive", and IT folks are saying we can get done for cheaper (lay offs)

message to thecoli.. go for differentiating roles, learn how to use AI to your advantage, stack money/self employ and buckle up..

It's not AI though.
It's directly tied to those rising interest rates.

That faucet of money getting cut impacted everything from how fast houses are being moved
to how quickly jobs are getting thrown up.

The money isn't flowing like it was four years ago.

Most of these jobs from layoffs are moving to Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. The technology teams overseas dwarf the ones in the US. And to add insult to injury US tech workers are training these overseas workers before being given the boot. If you refuse no severance package. Y'all better learn a 2nd language if you work for a global corporation.

Outsourcing hubs like India to bag 40% of jobs lost to layoffs

Over the last year, global technology companies and technology service arms of multinationals such as Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Salesforce have announced multiple rounds of layoffs. So have large banking and telecom majors.

Outsourcing hubs like India to bag 40% of jobs lost to layoffs
Experts say that 30-40% of the more than 300,000 technology jobs lost to layoffs globally could move to outsourcing hubs like India in the coming months.

A lot of these jobs are likely to be redistributed across the existing workforce of large tech companies in India, they said.

Sanjay Shetty, director-professional search and selection, Randstad India, expects 30-40% of tech jobs that were cut globally to move to India by 2024-25.

It's a combo of all these moving parts.

What I am seeing though is a deficit in service. Airlines, in particular, have sites/apps that are down a lot and some of the worst customer service in history.

It reminded me of COVID. I flew on Air France on a work trip to Paris in 2022 ... and I was with a group of about 30 people from the SAME flight all had missing luggage and no one knew anything in baggage. THIS is what happens when you hire less staff but expect stellar service.

Twitter has been pure shyt lately. Thotbots and Extreme Right "users" are relevant

@Insensitive is right
Literally, everything you said after the first line points back to precisely what he told you: rising interest rates

Pretty brazen to do this in the US despite our employment laws.

I tried Revature but they're on some stupid shyt so I went the Dev10 route. I have a behavioral interview with them on Tuesday.
Few years ago I would have never done this but getting paid to learn SQL and JavaScript for 3 months and potentially getting placed with a company Bank of America or Delta sounds like a dream compared to sitting at home sending out hundreds of applications and not getting 1 interview.
I have about 40K saved up so I'm good with wherever they relocate me. Its a 2 year contract so I'll be about 31 when it's done so hopefully the job market is back to a respectable level. Wish me luck.

Looks like I'm getting back into the game. Generally, the interviewing and job application process is annoying. Some frustrating days getting emails from my top choices saying "nah" in emails. But I'm glad it'll be hybrid. Hoping it works out to be Tuesdays-Thursdays

Had an interview for J2 job stack today, $85k role (trying to take on something more chill).

It was a startup.
1. Today's interview was with the job recruiter.
2. Next is hiring manager interview for cultural fit.
3. Tech interview/algo round next after.
4. Architecture round.
5. Interview with product team
6. Interview with founder.

How you going to have an architecture interview for a Junior position? These companies lost their dang minds.

No such thing as Juniors in this job market. If companies can exploit you in anyway they'll try. I've never seen it this bad before.

Funny thing is, this wasn't even for a traditional front end, back end nor full stack software role
