I’m hearing that we have another round of layoff in FI Technology. Somewhere around in Sep or year ending. This time only for contractors. Is it true and real ?

And disillusioned with Fidelity. Is it my imagination that career moves lateral up or sideways don’t exist? I feel like I’m spinning my wheels making no progress. Mind you it’s a good job decent enough pay clearly a nice benefits offering but I’m... — read more

Seeing lots of longtime people suddenly leaving most VP’s. Did they get laid off and got to stay longer than the others? What’s making them retire all of a sudden?

Do you think there is a legitimacy in hiring for some positions specially in tech. Or is it all about knowing the hiring manager and then you are hired. Just so sick of all this non sense.

When I got the notice, I thought my career was over. Instead, it was the push I needed. I found a role with actual work-life balance, a team that respects me, and no daily dread. And I'm not alone, I keep a running list of ex-colleagues who've moved... — read more

How special tech talents are hired in states where there are no software development centers?

Someone was saying they heard that the FL Regional center was going back to on-site 1 week a month, seems strange as most sites are going to full time on site. Probably just a wishful thinking rumor.
