This market is brutal
I have been contemplating this question this weekend. Has anyone been in a similar situation or have thoughts? If you have a job you love and you are a little under paid, would you take a new job for a 30% raise or stay where you are content and happy?
Got an offer letter from Walmart Inc., at Bentonville. The job description said the range is $70K - $130K. And they offered me $90K saying this is even higher and wouldn’t get approved. Apparently it did. I got very similar strong experience for the role. I was expecting well around $100K, should I negotiate on this? How would you handle it? I acknowledge the job market is bad, and Arkansas is comparatively cheap. Seeking advice.
More companies announcing layoffs. If you were a CEO with a heart, what would you offer as severance? I think most of the severance offered is too low.
I'm an AE at Microsoft and have 'climbed the ladder' from a junior entry level vendor role. I'm learning a tonne in my current role and feel there's a ceiling to my career progression. I'm a victim of not hopping around tech companies to benefit from salary bumps. As a result, my salary and level are lower than what they should be. I have a potential opp to join Google as an AE in a different role, potentially more junior but would massively boost my sales accumen, Should i make the jump?
One of the clearest indicators of organizational maturity. Can the company tell the truth internally before the market forces it externally?Most long term problems begin as short-term avoidance.And people notice sooner than leadership thinks.
The only question left is will it ever improve. Right now, I say no. They've offshored, outsourced, or automated everything until jobs in America will cease to exist. I saw an ad for $65k software developers in Latin America. How can we compete with that with 2 and 3 thousand dollar rents
My prediction is that AI will actually bring more engineering during jobs back to the US. There’s no need for cheaper labor abroad when you can have really elite engineers here with AI do much more.
Definitely one of the toughest job markets I’ve ever seen in a long time. I’m glad that I’m not graduating from college right now from what I’ve heard from friends with kids in college - they haven’t been able to find anything at all.
So true.
