2021 was an anomaly. Once in a career kind of phenomenon... Get used to it....

Usually the cycle changes every 12-18 months. Been about 12 months already. Another 6-8 months and things will start to show some improvements.

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?- Grapevine

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

Any idea when will the job market recover?

Software Test - QA

I’ve been working in an early-age startup as a frontend developer and am about to complete 2 years in 1 month. This is my first job. I want to quit immediately and then look for a job by doing some good preparation but I am so confused about what to do. I am actively applying. I am leaving this company coz there’s no increment this year also I have to switch projects frequently. I’ve worked on an MVP alone but the work is not organized like mid-level startups, big startups or MNCs.

My question is simple. Should I leave and then start looking for jobs actively or I should stay here until the job market recovers?

PS - Let me know if someone is hiring for frontend roles.It’ll be a great help

Should I quit my job?

Software Developer

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

I myself am looking for product design roles. All I see on linkedin and other job portals is that companies only looking for Product Designer 2 candidates/mid-senior/lead designers.

Even if I see any PD1 role, they ask for minimum 1 year experience (internship experience no included). I don’t understand the rationale behind it.

Its getting tough now that I am looking for a job since 2 months and its tiring. 

Is there anyone who understands the current market trend and has an insight about when junior/entry level designers can expect jobs to reopen? Would love to get your speculations on the hiring scene of upcoming months.

Is the market opening anytime soon for entry-level product designers?

Founder

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?

Senior Consultant

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

Recently, I've been observing a concerning trend that I haven't observed before in my 5 years in this industry. 

A large no. of job openings are coming up at mid-sized companies and startups that require 5+ years of experience but pay 7-12 LPA. One of these companies even used to pay a decent more when I'd applied to it a few years before

Does anyone have insights on the root causes behind this trend and how it will shape up the job market going forward?

My hypotheses on root causes:-
(1) Bad job market
(2) Advent of AI

Insane number of low paying software jobs

Have been trying to switch for the past 6-7 months. Initially till June I was actually getting calls. After that in September I did not even get a single callback. No interviews for September and October. Everyone out there is just suffering. 

An acquaintance daughter called me and she was crying she could not land a Business Development role even for a mere salary of 20-25k p.m. i could not help. 

My resume is fine as I have had it  vetted on r/resumes. I have 2.3Yoe. Nothing is working. I just  wish to die.
I wanted to save money for my master's as my mother cannot afford to pay cause Father's dead. 

Nothing is working. When will all of this become at least bearable?

Ask me anything except my company name, or things that can reveal my identity. I may respectfully choose not to respond to your question based on my own judgement.

Here’s a brief intro about me: I’ve worked as both software engineering manager & software technical architect over the last 18+ years on various tech stacks managing backend, frontend and a little bit of cloud. I have seen ups and downs in the software industry. Currently I’m working as a senior architect in one of the product based companies in India.

I’ve been an Engineering Manager before. Ask me anything.

Software Architect

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?

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)?

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

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?

Medical Expert

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?

When the market will stable , when this layoff period will go away ? Any thought 🤔

When this layoffs time will go away .

Hi everyone, I am somebody who hasn't interviewed in a while and wanted to get a quick pulse about how the job market is right now. Looking to hear about personal anecdotes. What has your experience been like in today's market compared to 2021? For people who got a huge hike in 2021, how have your appraisals been like? Are you facing issues while switching?

Personally, I haven't been getting random emails from recruiters like I used to get back in 2020/21. Have you also seen a slowdown?

For people who have not been looking out, how have appraisals been for you this year compared to 2021 when attrition was quite high?
