Hopefully the mass layoffs will end by then. But the number of openings and average salary will be reduced by then.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Around mid-2023, I thought jobs would get better by January 2024. But hearing about recent layoffs and seeing lots of competition makes me doubt when things will actually improve.

I get that the job market goes up and down, but I just want it to be a bit normal, not necessarily back to the best it's ever been.

What's weird to me is that stocks seem okay, but jobs aren't doing so well.

When do you think job market will recover

As someone who is going through their first down market. This is a question for the more experienced folks. When do you think the job market will be back up?

When will the job market be back up?

What's your thought on whether the job market is on a trend towards normalizing versus previous quarters? When do you think market will be back to normal?

Job market normalizing?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

We faced a really slow moving job market in Indian IT last financial year. I heard this year it will open some opportunities. It is almost the end of April and I am not getting any calls from the recruiters. FYI, I am a Java backend tech lead, Open for architect position as well. Having 9+ experience entirely in the same technology and in the digital banking domain. 

I am worried, will the market ever be back to normal like it was pre-covid? Even during lockdown, there was a lot of hiring.  
What's wrong now? 
Wars one after another, making uncertainty.
I personally feel, during the WFH period they hired people from different cities and made them work together, which worked fine for WFH. Now they're forcing us to work with a team which is not in your office, not even in your city. Now, they don't need to hire people from the same city/location which makes their job easier. They just pick someone from the pool, internal  recruitment etc. 
People are fearing job security so a very few are putting papers, resulting in no vacancies. 

The market is completely biased towards employers and we can't do anything about it.
When will this end?

Has the job market changed forever?

How's the job outlook in 2024? Heard it's supposed to get better by mid 2024, still not so sure myself, any insights would be appreciated.
Thanks

Job Market Outlook

Any chances that the job market recovers anytime soon? Currently HRs are super-lowballing.

Any opinions or guesses on when will the tech bull run will start again in short when this recession will go away and market will be stable?

Tech recession

I've been working for more than a year now at my current org and want to switch due to the poor support and management and no learning opportunities, that said I'm very much interested in FE dev(not just for short term, but I want to make it as a career in the long term as well) and have been learning(good ol React, html-css, js/ts) from the past 2 years and have built some projects and a portfolio.
Now comes the job market, straight up rejecting me mercilessly(I did get shortlisted in a few, but both ended up ghosting me afterwards), this has been going on for a few months now.
I am lost thinking what to do now 🥲, please fellow FE devs and devs in general guide me with your wisdom

Job switching and market conditions

Read news article that there are layoffs in the UK, I hope jobs in India will not get affected much by any tech layoffs in us/uk. 

When will recession end and things become normal.

What should I do? have been mentally drained losing confidence on myself, not able to concentrate on anything

Need your suggestions 🙏

Do you feel 2021 level of Job Market is back?

Suddenly the number of jobs have increased

Product Manager

As everyone knows that zomato is now hiring 800 employees after two months of a mass layoff, and exit of senior profiles like VP and CTO.

Let me tell you the truth about the founder. He is an opportunist. He doesn't give a shit about the culture or any employee. The company is built on the death of many riders and cheating with low-wage workers.

Timing- Isn't it a bit weird that a company that did a mass layoff two months back is now hiring? Seeing that many employees got laid off from the top-tier company. It is a great time to employ smart folks as the hiring competition in the market is at its lowest. Or the mass layoff that happened previously was planned with the thought of hiring again next year with very little competition and desperate candidates. 

Layoff: In zomato, it's hire and fire culture. I have seen many of my friends leave even after performing well. Honestly, sometimes I don't even feel human. It's expected from employees to start their day early and go late at night. If you want to leave early (around 6 or 7), you should have a solid reason for doing that. Here code release happens late at night due to less traffic. So it's expected of you to be available all the time.

Incompetent Managers- I have worked with two managers here. Both know the existing system as they were once an IC building that system. The issue with these people is that they grew up the ladder because they were the only ones left behind in the team. They lack real-world system knowledge. I have previously worked at amazon, and I know the team lead level there. But here it's like jo ruk gaya vo raja hai. It's hard to work with these people as they lack proper estimations of the projects and at the end of the day. The ICs have to face the wrath of the product teams.

People who are planning to join the company. Please do join, as working 24/7 you would learn a lot in a very short period of time. Also, the culture is team dependent, so you might get a team with chill environment.

Reality check at Zomato

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 !!)

Looks like job market is a bit more stable nowadays, first half of the year was all about layoffs, and pink slips. Post June while the layoff news is still coming in, it's not as frequent as earlier. Maybe no boom right now in job market but feel it's relatively more stable.
