Inflated titles could be one reason. Early employees of startups and founders have CEO/VP/Director level titles.

Can be. Wonder how people just accept that and act like they are actually one. It is the number of senior level entries that scare me actually

Product Manager

People & Culture Manager

These are people who have “Director - Film society of xx college”

Wow!! LinkedIn is putting no effort if this is the case

Aeey yeh college ke director of blah blah honge xD

“That event i organized during my 3rd year of college”

When I was looking for a change in job, I would click apply on all ‘easy-apply’ cards in my job search result. It was only later that I would look into the JD. 
 These stats are from similar clicks imo 😀

Ya highly likely. With opinions coming from people, it feels like doing an RCA (root cause analysis)

Data engineer

I wonder how does LinkedIn decide the “senior level applicants” bucket or other buckets even.

Can think of cumulative years of experience only.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I was talking with one of my friend regarding his job switch plans. He's trying since 4 months and applied to hundred's of opportunities. Of all those, only a handful he got some replies and of them just two interview schedule had happened. One of the interview he cleared and even then the company put him on hold for 2 weeks and later the company moved ahead with some other candidate(maybe the other candidate was asking for less pay).

US Job Market: Secure Jobs but Tougher Job Hunts

Journalist

I am trying to switch since last 2 months using naukri, instahyre, linkedin and cutshort and have only gotten calls from WITCH companies and other small service companies. 

Is job market really that bad or do I lack the tech to get an interview at a decent product company?

Does instahyre even work? Not a single call or view by recruiters

I have almost 8 years exp and tech stack is java, rest API, kafka, weblogic etc.

Is job market really bad?

Hello
I have been working as a developer for almost 3 years now. I have been pursuing design at side and want to transition to design as career (UX/product design roles).

Need help on navigating roles and salaries from anyone who has transitioned/seen someone transition and has knowledge on this.
1. Apply for entry level roles or senior roles?
2. How to navigate salary discussions ( if recruiter says since this is your first design job we can only pay entry level salary X which is less than my current salary as a dev)?

Salary expectation in Dev to Design transition

Product Designer

Today, the markets have been bleeding across USA, Japan, India due to number of reasons contributing to it. War between iran- Israel, unemployment rate in USA going up, increase in interest rates in Japan which led to the worst decline of their stock markets in history. 
We were thinking that since now openings are coming up, situation could improve. Will the situation get worse from here in the upcoming days or is it too early to say?

Markets bleeding- Sign of recession and less job opportunities

Data Scientist

I see jobs being there, but even the entry level jobs are requiring experience. I saw a associate level job posting on linkedin for a startup asking for 4-6 years experience. This is in line with the recent article at The KEN.

Are people really ready to work for low salary for high skills? 
What does this mean for the freshers, job switchers/career switchers? Are we all doomed for now?

What's your take on the market?

Consultant

People like him have spoiled the hiring for ever.
If they want they can ask candidate to join in 10 mins.
Because of this insanity, so many worthy candidates are suffering.  Even if they want to hire instantly, they are not gonna pay good.

IT Job Scenario- Worsening

Growth Manager

I've been in the job market for about 4 months now.
It's disheartening to go through the process and companies not valuing your time or the word they gave.
I've been in offer stages for 3 companies now and it's just frustrating for one reason or other things just don't end up working out. Either it's low balling the offers or just plain "internal misalignment". 

I've 7 years of 0-1 sales experience and it's getting tough to see the light at the end of the tunnel. 

Not sure why I'm ranting here, maybe there are folks in the similar boat and would love to hear how your experience has been looking for a job in this climate

Job Market is scary/frustrating

Sales Manager

What do you guys think is the reason behind the job market being at its lowest level since past 6-7 months ?

(P.s- i made a horrible mistake by joining a cpa outsourcing startup , I'm not been assigned any client for the past one year also they have not given me any kind of training. I'M FUCKING TRAPPED !!)

External Audit

Hi folks,
I got laid off in Sept. since then looking for a Job. 
market is so scary. 
Few questions:
1. a lot of companies are hiring through crewscale, etc. they are offering low salary as per the role. are companies paying low salary to them or they are taking a big cut? do people treat them differently once they join a company via crewscale?

2. I am not able to get my resume shortlist for mncs. 

what to do now? recently my friend got a call from razorpay gehy were offering for sde role 15 lakh for 2 years experienced. they were paying 22 lakh for sde 1 last year. the role is not product engg or solution ennggg that they recently introduced for low salary. it was sde role.

fat rhi h ab. kya kru??????
my exp: 2.5 backend

I am scared now.

Software Engineer

Do you think the worst for the job market is yet to come?

Thoughts on this?

Given what RBI has gone today is effectively shut down 60-70% of Paytm’s business, to survive, Paytm will end up doing mass layoffs of a scale that we haven’t seen before in India. And potentially with limited severance (not as generous as what swiggy or Big tech has been doing)
What would this mean for the rest of job market? So much unemployment in high earning folks, limited new jobs, means very tough competition for each opening and extremely bad situation in terms of appraisals and hikes too.
