When this layoffs time will go away .

When can we expect the market to be up and we get the calls for hiring? Currently, hardly any interview calls are approached.

If you follow layoffs.fyi, you can see the number of layoffs happened in Jan 24 is closed to Mar 23. It’s almost been 1.5 yrs since layoffs trend started. UK & Japan went to recession tomorrow.

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?

Being an investor in equity markets, i was aware of the fact that US market will crash as the free money by fed draws back. I obviously was not able to link this up with the funding dry-ness. I still expect a founder to be aware of these economic events. I am curious how could the management decide to go for hiring employees only to lay them off a year later. If you are a founder, would be happy to know the other side of the story.

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.

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.

Been hearing layoffs again and there are less hiring what's the actual reason for this and when this become normal

From October , layoffs have increased quite a bit. At least that's what I have been noticing. Personally, I have also been affected and looking for job opportunities since this month. Do you think number of layoffs have increased or flattened?

I used to work in a start up in Bangalore, they overhired in 2022 and overpaid the freshers, more than the experienced engineers were getting paid. To fix this put 30% of workforce on pip, laid off 20% I was one of them. 2 months later, they did open layoffs, did it again in 2 months, and one of my friends there heard the founders cracking a laugh that even the investors wouldn't have expected us to do this so fast. I joined another company, they lost the client I was hired for, and few more clients, I was told they will have to do layoffs and my name is in the list. So they asked me to resign and I refused by saying we'll consider a last working day, if I get an offer I'll resign otherwise anyway I'll have to be laid off and they agreed. This happened one month after I had joined this company ( also a startup ). So, being laid off once was already a big enough punch of reality, with an education loan on my head. I joined another company and got laid off again. Tough shit. I ended up getting an offer before my lwd. I am not from any IIT, I am not an exceptional engineer. I am very bad interviews, my resume usually doesn't get shortlisted. Sheer volume of effort I put made the impact on me getting a job. Right now I am the best job of my career, with a better management. Trying to say, it's a tough time. But you'll get through it.

Why Tech Layoffs are Still Continuing ? How long will it take to recover from recession? Mostly businesses are out of India and IT engineers are in India due to which in India also layoffs are continuing so how to get rid off? Is AI playing major role in layoffs or its due to recession? As a support engineer what should be the next career path should take like DevOps , Development or Management etc.
