Job Market Outlook

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

Market should give a run up but likely to fall later this year. With the startup fundraise looking grim, there are companies preparing a PIP / fire list to let go off people. We see this already with the likes of Paytm in India, Lazada in Singapore, Delivery Hero in Germany.

So to answer the question of the job market outlook. Chances are slim and rare if you are making over 50lpa. Around the 15 to 30lpa range there are still openings based on your domain.

When do you think job market will recover

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.
