Trend consultacy hiring in big tech- Grapevine

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..

Job Market right now in India?

It is really bad right now 
 1. Layoffs in many of the companies, irrespective of whether they're a startup or a big MnC. 
 2. Almost everyone I know of wants to switch, because of no/less appraisals from last 2 years 
 3. Bad work life balance - people thinks switching might help 
 4. Too much competition for any open position. Because of too much supply, companies are low-balling and people would accept the offer.  
  
 Recruiters ghosting is too common. Even if you've killed in your interviews and recruiters get someone who's ready to join on less pay, they'll simply ghost you.

With big corporate giants like Google, Apple, Bain, Tesla, Amazon etc. laying off staff in the name of cost reduction, automation&innovation and restructuring while at the same time tech companies like Accenture not awarding any yearly hikes to professionals for 2 consecutive years now, where do you see the IT/Tech/Consulting industry heading towards in next couple years down the line? By when is the market expected to revive? Which companies are still committed to ensuring job security along with high pay standards or is that a thing of the past? Please enlighten me😊

Layoffs everywhere?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Hey people,
   I am a software engineer. I am thinking of pivoting to leadership kind of roles like EIR, founders office, product manager, etc. 
   For people who are currently in such roles or know people in these roles, do you think people from tech(engineering) background, pivoting to this role at age of 24-25 yrs is advisable? Would people hiring for these roles see that I don't hold an MBA?
   What are the things about these roles I should be aware of?

Hello Folks!

Research Specialist

So, I am looking for senior level jobs and  usually referall /direct connects have worked better. But today I had to upload my resume on shine.com 'cuz the opening on linkedin, redirected me there.
Within an hour I got a call from an agency called evolution planner and what seemed like a young boy in an animated voice asking if am looking out etc. What spiked my curiosity was him asking if am looking outside India, which is not usual opening question.
Now its usual for consultants to call so it was sll okay till he said there will be a small fees. Now again, I know of senior folks who deploy headhunters and I was like maybe these people have got my profile from somewhere and are looking to source business from me. I wouldn't have paid but I entertained to see where this is going. He said Microsoft, Oracle etc have shortlisted me. Funny given I have worked in startups in marketing ( and not even tech ) so don't knw whats the skillset match. Anyway he told me to create an account and my final red flag was when he said site name like www Dot..lol who says it like that. I cut the call pretending am getting another call and he can call me later. He asked me to confirm since he will have to hold the client for me. Lol
It's happened with me for the 1st time and unfortunately searching this company name doesn't throw any negative reviews either. But this is a scam,right ? Also since when did google start recruiting like this.
Have you heard of this company?
Also have you had such experiences.?

Why is Accenture hiring urgently for their strategy and consulting practice? They’re basically poaching from big 4 🙄🙄🙄

Hi Folks,

Thanks

Product Marketing Manager

I was recently impacted by layoff and having 20yrs of exp into application support and service management with last 10yrs grown into a middle management role(limited tech hands-on and no dev experience nor CS background)

While I am financially ok atm and can manage staying at home for next 12-24 months, I am not financially independent yet. its getting too boring and I want to get back into some sort of work routine as I am keen on retirement yet.

Challenges I am seeing with finding a new opportunity:

- The job market seems to be quite restricted for senior roles with that experience
- Few that came across were at a substantial low salary.  
- Some others required significant hands-on experience 

Thought process::

- While salary is not a major concern, I am not sure if I makes sense to take a pay cut.
- Given the speed of tech changes, not sure what kind of learning/certification would be helpful
- Even if I do tech self-learning, lack of practical hands-on seems to be a drawback
- At 40+ while I am open to work hard and learn, i view is to find a job and learn into it , rather than other wat round

Any guidance/pointers would be appreciated. As would any leads/introductions on suitable opportunities you know of.

What next at 40+

Start a hotel of your own or a small CCD why work in boring mncs

Heard from people I know at Bain that they are laying off.
This is mostly the first time an MBB is doing layoffs (earlier they would silently fire, or delay onboarding) 

A friend got impacted. Seems like this could be 10-15% of their consultants. Unprecedented.

Layoffs at Bain India. At least 100+ people will be affected

When I think I should leave my job and start searching, Grapevine pops one of these scary items 😭

Founder

Many companies laying off employees while they're hiring parallely, if you know any such companies please share there name....so we don't end up joining such confusing workplace......

Hiring and firing parallely

In Zomato and Blinkit they putting pressure on employees based out of Bangalore office to either relocate to Gurgaon office or creating situation where they end up resigning

Strategy & Operations

Roughly 2.5% of the workforce. Are there any details on teams and geographies impacted?

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi, as the title suggests - I am looking for roles in the growth/strategy or product analytics based fields. I have more than 4.5 years of experience and it mostly consists of consulting, business and product analytics heavy projects. For the past year I have been mostly working as a data engineer specific role and want to make a switch. If you come across such roles or if your company is hiring then do let me know. I will start applying to them.

Nowadays companies tend to take 5-6 rounds of interview and
One of my friends had gone through a similar procedure for 3 companies now- all into Fintech(one is a big MNC doing good and the other ones are startup) initially they moved forward with the CTC although they didn't have the budget and after 6 rounds of interview(5 general rounds and 1 to be more sure). 
I don't know how you cannot be sure of someone after 6 rounds of interview and why companies are not transparent about the CTC they can afford.
It has happened to a lot of my known SDEs including myself. 
Just wanted to vent out, just because of the ongoing market conditions, companies are troubling the candidates a lot.
Did you guys also have similar experiences?

A new trend going on... 💀

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

How is job market for Digital Marketing and growth for B2C.  Most of the interest first or mobile first companies are not hiring or hiring at very less exp. and pay.

Can see opening for B2B or product marketing but nothing much from Growth or Performance marketing.

Read there are many who have been laid off some more than 6-8 months but still struggling to find the right opportunity.

Also many senior level guys, on LinkedIn have got into consulting or Fractional CMO roles as they package might be high and no one is in need of such experienced senior ppl team. 

How or when this will change ? 

During 2018 or even 2020 many said Digital or growth marketing will be the future, demand will increase as all business, users go online.. but now seems to be other way round..

Are Digital Marketers finding Job ?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am seeing lots of jobs post on LinkedIn from various companies and when u apply to them there is no call back or any update from them. I am now like confused if those post are even true or not? Anyone face/observe this

Has anyone observed this ?

Hi everyone, 
I recently completed my BBA from a tier 2 college and am eager to gain work experience. 

I don’t have a specialisation that I graduated with since college didn’t provide one but I like finance and at this level I believe I am a generalist. 

I’ve previously done internships in growing startups and want to experience working in the corporates now. 

I am a quick learner and can adapt to the environment quickly. I enjoy developing strategies to solve problems. 

All I’m looking for is an ENTRY POINT which can help me grow and learn. 

Any leads would be really helpful! 
Thank you so much!

While personally checking out every consulting company's career page is doable but time consuming... i wanted to get an idea from the community 's experience on the recent openings for a consulting profile.
