India Is on a Hiring Binge That Trump’s Tariffs Can’t Stop
An abundance of motivated young professionals is luring American businesses to base their global operations in Indian cities.
My company has a huge presence in India. Yet always looking for volunteers to fly over there for a few weeks to babysit them. Whenever they screw something up royally. The Indians they bring over on H1-B visas don't need constant handholding.India Is on a Hiring Binge That Trump’s Tariffs Can’t Stop

These companies delaying processes on GP and/or recruiters ain’t doing their jobs. Really miss when they just moved candidates along instead of trying to corral multiple people over like 2 weeks

So basically a bad review and your are out. Damn.
I wouldn't wish this terrible job market on my worse enemy. Companies won't even negotiate on salary anymore.
So many job applicants out there approaching crack head levels of desperation. I've never seen so many job applicants out of work for 6 months or more.

In case people were wondering if job postings are just back to where they were pre-COVID, they have actually fallen below the pre-COVID levels (index of 100 in Feb 2020) and even as of last month dropped below the bottom of April/May 2020 during the start of the lockdowns.
Indian tech workers on edge about Trump's immigration policy
Indian tech workers on edge about Trump's immigration policy – DW – 03/26/2025
While Trump is rushing to fulfill his promise to limit immigration, his new allies in Silicon Valley are pushing back. At the center of the debate is the temporary H-1B visa, the ticket to the US for skilled foreigners.

Ron Hira says India has a strong interest in preserving the H-1B program not only because workers send large remittances home, but also because Indian IT services companies rely heavily on H-1B visas to run their outsourcing business.
"It's a big cash cow for the country," Hira added which is why Indian companies are opposed to a reform that would reduce their profits.

FIRE (Finance, Insurance, Real Estate) and Consulting got fukked in 08 much worse than Tech. Tech was actually still on the upswing and companies like Amazon actually began big upping then after a momentary blip. I was in the job market when the dotcom crash hit and this seems eerily similar but back then the big companies like Microsoft/Intel weren't laying off, it was all the startups going belly up that changed things.
Same. I pretty much juked the recession by graduating in 2011. I want to say it's hard to believe we're at that level, but the amount of people in my circle that have been out of work for 3+ months now is crazy. Definitely never seen anything like this.
