I am expecting an offer from GoTo for a senior data science role. How good is the culture and whether they provide mobility to SG ? Safe to join GoTo given they had layoffs recently?  Thanks

I quit my last company in Dec 2023 due to some reasons. I was not aware the market would be this bad. Basically in a nutshell I have at least given interviews in 10-15 companies till now, cleared most of theirs all rounds, but for some reason or other they didn’t release an offer. some feedback includes, why do you want to join us with such less hike, you would leave us in few months. One said they are not able to get final sign off from their lord in US. And mostly others just stopped responding. ATM I don’t understand anything, emergency funds getting over, and realised all the network I made till now in my career and whom I helped are of no use. I know I wont get any clear advice here also, but just venting out. I am on the brink of just quitting everything of this corporate drama and start prepping for govt exam, or start a small biz in my town

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hi guys, have you also been silently let go/laid off by your company?  This story needs to be heard by the people. I am a journalist and working on one such story, it would be great to have more details. 

You can reach out to me on anonymousrep98@gmail.com

Companies want to brush everything under the carpet, they think nobody will know about these silent layoffs by letting go of people in small batches. We are one of India's largest financial news organisation and would like the world to know about such practices.

If you know someone who has met with the fate, reach out to us.

Silent layoff? Why the IT companies don't want the world to know

Welcome to Consulting's Private Community

Many companies are currently hiring interns for 2025 and even 2026, which might seem surprising since students graduating in 2026 haven't yet completed their studies. The reason companies show such interest and enthusiasm for hiring candidates so far in advance is that they are planning for future growth and aiming to secure top talent early. This strategy helps them cultivate relationships with promising students, offering internships as a way to assess potential long-term hires.

However, during a time when many people are struggling to find jobs due to the economic recession, it’s important for companies to also consider offering opportunities to those who are currently unemployed or underemployed. Giving a chance to people in need of work now can help address immediate talent shortages while also supporting individuals impacted by the downturn. Balancing future planning with current needs could benefit both companies and job seekers alike.

Please Address the laid off people

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I would like to discuss the coping strategies people use when suffering from prolonged unemployment.

Please share your stories as a guide for others 

I left my job in December in a pre seed startup and unable to find a new one. Got few interviews but end up being ghosted. 

I have 3 years of experience as a product manager in fintech Startups but currently no leads in pipeline 

I am distressed due to prolonged unemployment I am facing with uncertainty about the future. 

How would you recommend someone to cope with this situation

Yoe: 5

Laid off, help with backend refferal

I want to quit my job and take a break. 

I Have been contemplating to do the same for almost an year but decided not to do it. So many things have happened since then

1. Layoff wave started in india
2. Got married
3. Had to move back to bangalore from hometown

Reason I want to quit is I don't feel like working , feeling bored and work doesn't interest me that much. 

I want to take a break chill for a bit but don't have guts to do the same considering market conditions ( what if I don't get a job when I am back in the market😅) 

Please give any advice on how to tackle this situation or if someone has gone through the same, would love to hear your experience. 

Also how is the product hiring currently in India? 

PS:  I do have a good runway for 4-5 months considering all expenses but I am scared to take the step

Need an honest answer from those who are layed off, what is your daily routine going like and how is your job application process going on?

Also are you getting a chance of higher package even if you have been earning like 30+ lpa?
