I was laid off on 7th Sep and my garden leave was till 29th Sep. I got average severance package and I was in panic situation for almost 2 weeks.
I gave interviews for 12 targeted position (luckily got till last rounds for all positions and got total 5 offers. 2 offers felt like being exploited, employers were milking my layoff situation and offered 10%-15%. I took a call to reject them and explore further. Got 3 offers in first week of Jan, these were worth considering. Yes I did wait for 4 months to see such favourable offers. One with 15% hile and relocation, second with 60k Euro and move to Europe and third offer with 100% hike with remote. It was a no brainer and I closed on the one with Remote and 100% hike.
Dont just rush to close on anything which comes first, assess the future and close on the decent or best one according to ur needs.
For those who were laid-off recently and looking for opportunities I would say keep faith market is opening and positions are getting listed. You will get something good soon.
Damn you man! Something I am manifesting 🤞
Congratulations on new role! Do share your learnings through the journey
I am preparing a doc, this will have a complete journey of Do’s and Dont’s. I am also planning to put a YT video for this.
@Beep new career counsellor in making
What's your new compensation?
Aisi baatein batayi nahi jati, nazar lag jati hai 😂
Hum toh aapko jaante hi nahi, kya hi nazar lagegi. Sharing your comp anonymously would only help the community know what the pay is like these days so they can negotiate better.
What role? Engineering or non engineering?
Not eng, I am from CX team.
Thanks bro I am a fresher of 23 grad... Still hoping to get something good mid 2024...some tips for a fresher bro?
When did you get the joining for Accenture?
As I said in one of the comments, I am not trying to become a career counsellor. I can just give tips of applying for positions of your domain, use AI tools to crack ATS, reach-out to recruiters on linkedin and lastly use YT for learning new ways to find jobs,/improve CV/prepare for Interviews
I feel with posts like these, people should realise that sabka apna apna hota hai. Sometimes things work out, sometimes they don't. For OP, they worked out, doesn't mean it will for you as well. Everyone needs to assess their situation and risk taking capability. This is not a great job market and being out of a job for so long can be emotionally/mentally/financially taxing for many.
I would agree with this as in my case I got what I prepared for. I also got interviews for Amazon and Microsoft post I accepted this offer. For my field the positions have started flooding from Jan.
