Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

[Insensitive]

Sometimes I consider this.

I learned how to protect corporate interests, I know how to crack them too

I sat on the phone with the recruiter for a half our.



He knew I was interested in these kinds of roles based on my profile/resume, we hit it off decently
so bro started shooting me his homies resumes to model my next move after
Then he started dropping game,

One dude he knows is running the contractor game to the tune of $260k/yr.

They keep asking bro to come on as a full time employee but he'd take an $80k cut, so he stays a contractor

IF that opportunity falls in your lap in the near future, I say take it

$363K US. Holy shyt. I really should have moved to the US.

Yeah hopefully trump allows yall to join us brother

Will be looking to make that pivot...the problem is the tech money is too good.

I'm most likely going to model my path around Tech Skillsets but stay near the public sector.
I want to max out my income as much as possible prior to trying to jump into the cutthroat world of tech.

From what I've heard tech is no joke and the competition is crazy, CRAZY high.

I've left tech, pivoted because my current job pays more and is more secure ironically. Maybe one day

If you going for the MAAMA companies yea it’s highly competitive. You can still get good tech roles with good pay, with companies that are tech adjacent that are not crazy competitive.

I have shifted towards investing. I can't handle the grind of constant learning anymore. I am hoping I can work in security compliance for a decade and hopefully my investment take over

Of course, They can't function without cuts.

I thought Microsoft got rid of stack ranking years ago? But I've been on 1 of their campuses before and it was damn near 70% Indian.

Not sure why anybody still entertains companies who constantly layoff employees. I guess the company's name recognition is too good to pass up?

Lots of younger tech workers tend to gravitate toward Big name companies. I constantly see them commenting online about it. And even saw it up close attending college job fairs on behalf of my employer. If you're company wasn't well known you had to beg students to visit your booth. Despite the fact my company rarely had any layoffs.

Companies do the same thing by only recruiting from certain colleges. Now companies only want workers on immigration visas. I tell young people to just pick a different career tech isn't worth it anymore.

This is true. I started out with IBM. Regular layoffs

Young folk get lured by the state of the art offices, free food and their little trinkets that don’t mean anything in the grand scheme of things.

I agree that tech is not worth it.
