Less opening for '24batch

Do you feel 2021 level of Job Market is back?

Talked with few of my seniors working in finance/IB and tech and a few of my friends doing internships in big tech. All of them are of the view that placements for 24 batch will be far more worse than 23 batch.Many companies have stopped expansion plans and arent expanding teams,I am mostly refering to the software/IT and finance industry here. So my question, are the placements of 24 batch going to be worse than the 23 batch,what are your views?

I'm a pre-final year BTech student at a Tier 3 college. Obviously no FAANG companies are visiting and I wasn't sure when I should start applying for off-campus. Also honestly does FAANG even hire freshers off-campus in 2024? Or is it just that the chances are very low.

Flipkart is hiring 2023 batch candidates in their off campus drive in some selected colleges. Are they doing something new and they want candidates?

2023 grad. Was selected in a company during on campus placement but they have delayed joining till 2024 stating business requirements and a dearth of projects. Came to know that they have again come for campus placements to hire 2024 grads from my college. What is this recruitment strategy? Will I get joining date ever?

I'm a '25 batch student and it's frustrating to see tech companies are mentioning "for 2023/2024 batch students only" in JD. Don't they wanna have a full time job rather than your 6 month internship after completing their course??

I am seeing a lot of layoff related posts everywhere from news articles to LinkedIn.. Is the Job market really that bad now? Or just the media is projecting that way? If it's really bad, which department you think is the most affected? How's layoffs specifically in India? Or is it layoffs in US but more hiring in India due to cost cutting? Are layoffs in technology/engineering dept as in for developers or some other departments? Your thoughts please..

How are the placements going on in top 10 MBA Colleges of India - IIMs, FMS, SPJAIN, etc.? How is the average and median package impacted by the current market conditions?

Bharti airtel delay the fresher joining date. It's joining was at mid June to mid July but now it is 30 October and most fresher location is it's new office in pune. If anyone know what the reason behind this pls share your thought #airtel
