Tech Industry job layoffs looking scary

[JT-Money]

mayne, i am literally a perfect fit for the last job i interviewed for...and i know I am the right person because realistically the field I am in is so small in Toronto that I know most ppl in my industry at my job level. Unless its musical chairs going on, there is no way there is a better candidate on the market than I am but still it be rejection after rejection for the few jobs I actually want.

If these last two jobs I interviewed for dont contact me back then I do not know.

Probably a ghost job. Ran into several that claimed they needed someone asap. 2 weeks after my interview they cancelled the open positions.

Companies just fukking with people at this point.

That position you just applied for might be a 'ghost job' that'll never be filled​

Fake job postings proliferate in layoff-hit tech industry

Turns out it's perfectly legal to waste applicants' time, use posts to squeeze more productivity out of employees

In all my cases funding got pulled. Or someone higher up got hired and is trying to flex their power.
I've had offers rescinded because a new Executive came in and shut everything down being a jerk. Luckily I hadn't given my 2 week notice yet.

What pisses me off is the recruiters who are just find hit a quota. They'll do the interview then tell you after that your experience match wasn't the right fit like my experience wasn't in my resume.

diabolical



Exactly, when the market is this tight with so many layoffs the expectations get raised if only because laid off people are never replaced.
I'm a backend engineer who is now also doing a ton of AWS SRE work. Jobs are fluid but still none of that was discussed in the job description or the interview because we had full time SRE back then. I can't even spin it to myself that it's good for my resume....cause it ain't no jobs out there

People might not even be low performers, they might just be doing the job of 3 people having to ramp up on stacks they never worked in before all while also having to meet their typical deliverables

Low performance is a bit disingenuous when you are at an elite company.
