India of course, where else.

Meanwhile in US, we continue to shed. That’s what happens when you don’t like coming back to office. Still empty offices, folks pretending to be “working” from home.

I work in the tech industry and saw a job posted at Pure Storage, California, back in May. It wasn't exactly what I was looking and I was in final interview somewhere else so I handed it off to a friend. He is very experienced, but over 40 white male. They called him for a quick phone interview and said they would set up a second interview. That never happened. Months went by then he got an email wanting an interview as soon as possible. Kind of like "months went by, really?" on their end.

So I did some digging and called up a friend of mine that now works in HR at Pure Storage corporate. She said FTEs didn't seem to be a focus of Pure Storage now and they were looking for temps, contractors, etc.

Question - is that true? Doesn't that mean the company is in bad shape? Any company that would pass on experienced FTEs for leftovers sounds like a company without $$ and about to crash or purposely being hung out to dry. Any insights? Thanks!

I've witnessed hundreds of families being tear down as their jobs being replaced by H1B and OPT visas.
This should stop and Ford should stop hiring H1B, H4, OPTand other phony visas out there.

"Paramount Skydance has recruited Jay Askinasi, most recently Roku’s top advertising exec, as chief revenue officer.

Askinasi will start at Paramount Nov. 3, dual-reporting to CEO David Ellison and president Jeff Shell. According to the company, the CRO position is a newly created role “designed to lead the company’s monetization strategy and strengthen its long-term positioning as a next-generation media company” and to push toward a unified advertising platform. John Halley remains in his role as president of Paramount Advertising, reporting to Askinasi."

Back in early 2010’s my starting offer out of university was just over $100k followed by several big raises and I see online our website saying starting offer is 100 to 125k. Considering the amount of inflation since I was hired new hires are getting sc--wed!

The Director/Manager's daughter got hired on making 65K+ as a Business Analyst with a Bachelors Degree in Fashion and no prior health care experience. When normal people don't get looked at unless you have at least 1+ of health care experience. But if you have the right last name and NO experience you can just be handed a job. NO need to work for it.

Yeah All Feeling Safe!

I’m tired of executives saying we need H1B, how come SpaceX has zero H1B? Exxon/Amazon are more innovative than SpaceX?

PIP or no PIP, thanks to one of the posts here on Remote hiring, applied for a couple of roles and got immediate callbacks with the hiring manager! Yes salary is less but will do what it takes to get out of the 8 hour solitary confinement - all the best to all! Count your eggs and make choices that align with your values, desires and well being.

Look at that, unbelievable!!

US layoffs fell in September, but hiring plans dropped to their lowest level in 16 years, according to new data. At the same time, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway agreed to acquire Occidental Petroleum’s OxyChem unit in a $9.7 billion deal, Tesla reported record Q3 EV deliveries, and OpenAI became the world’s most valuable private company with a $500 billion valuation.

Take a look at the job postings in India to understand who they will be firing! Pretty classy to keep posting about jobs and hiring in India the same time you are firing and doing mass layoffs of the long time employees who built the company.

Care and WAEM at their finest. While announcing mass layoffs they can’t even skip a few days of posting about all the jobs in India. Talk about insensitive and clueless!

Where is everyone applying? I know most people are already looking, since no one’s crazy enough to just wait and see if their number comes up, but the listings I see are honestly discouraging. There are so few openings compared to how many of us will soon be out there searching. Are people branching into other industries too? Is there anywhere that’s actually hiring where our skills translate well?

My department is hiring. I believe they already found the candidate. Hopefully that’s a good sign for my department

Hi, does anyone know if they are hiring or plan to hire new college graduates?

Myself and classmates have applied to dozens of positions across various departments but can not get an interview at this company (even positions that don't require a college degree). It is one of the few FinTech companies in our area.

(3.5+ GPAs, STEM/Finance degrees, US citizens, 30 minute commute.)

Or if anyone knows what type of candidates they are currently looking for, that would be very helpful!

Thank you

Hi all,
With current h1b fee, do you think if any hope for new h1b hiring for QA positions at Dell? Thanks.

But finance is already saying "math is not going to add up". I hope the sr leaders are cautious about hiring. Layoff should not be the new normal.

There is a significant lack of diversity within S&T. A simple visit to the 4th floor of the Plano office makes this clear — over 90% of employees appear to be Indian, with very few White, Black, or Hispanic employees present. On nearly every call at PepsiCo, you will find at least one Indian participant. The representation is not just high — it is overwhelmingly disproportionate.

A close friend of mine, who was laid off by his Indian manager last year, shared that many Indian managers predominantly hire other Indians, leaving candidates of other ethnicities at a disadvantage. In my own experience, I have yet to see an Indian manager leading a team where more than half of the members are non-Indian.

This raises serious concerns. The numbers don’t lie — the pattern is clear and consistent. Such hiring practices undermine diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, and create an uneven playing field for others. It also gives the impression of exploiting the H-1B visa system, which further skews fair competition in the workplace.

Fellow Citi bankers,
I completed two round of interviews for a C13 role at Citi. I got a request to upload my photo onto workday. I did that about 4 days ago. How long does it usually take to HR to come back to me with the offer after the photo verification process?

Citigroup has relocated nearly 1,000 tech jobs to India following 3,500 layoffs in China. With AI adoption and skilled Indian teams, the bank strengthens its GCCs, creating new opportunities and making India a key hub for global banking tech.

I can learn to love the Eagles and I could definitely get used to a more affordable city.

Come on let's help each other out hehe! But seriously my heart and prayers goes out to everyone, I know it's cliche but you are going to be ok. Just remember you gave your loyalty and your hard work you are prize. So let's start our new journey!!

Dave Calhoun, with his multi-million-dollar salary demand, could not come up with this brilliant idea!

Probably doesn’t help that hiring managers and recruiters use services that look at and summarize FB, Instagram posts, etc., and company-identified boards like this one, to not only get a sense of personal characteristics of applicants, but the culture from where they are/came.

It’s already super competitive marketplace for jobs in this industry. And it’s only going to get worse. No company using one of these services is going to hire anyone with F5 on their resume based on the comments here. Too many competitors will have applied for the same job without this baggage. And AI tools specific to this task will only make this sort of information more accessible.

Remove F5 from your resume if you can. Or, hope that the sh-t-posting stops - probably unlikely as humans are their own worst enemy when cornered, or laid off.

So, a round of applause for all the sh-t-posters. While they practice their freedom of speech, accomplishing nothing to change anything with F5 for the better, they are making it impossible for all of us to find another job if laid off.

Good luck out there. You’re going to need it - based on the comments here.

Hmmm.... if saving money is the reason to hire these folks, will IBM cough up a hundred grand? Doubtful, I think. Your thoughts?

Yes, we are back in business, interest rates going down, there will be more hiring and promotions to fill empty(fired) positions soon, heard from a reliable source

There have been hardly any senior or lead positions open in the data space. Even if something is posted, looks like they are mostly labor filing related openings and you get a response back that you do not meet the expectations. No calls no nothing but just a rejection. This all seems to be internal referrals and 3P conversions or referrals taking up the roles or is it true that there is no need for data related roles at USAA. What's the deal?

After a layoff event people used to take breather and relax, not with this latest one. Feels like hunger games have already started. It must be about the hiring in ENGINE and Buenos Aires.

Are we hiring backfills? These people work on AI. They work with customers. They manage people. People are pulling 10 hour work days.

As we're constrained for CX Summit, we're simultaneously betraying our core contact center customers. We want to operate like a startup but don't hire like startups do: more designers, engineers, managers in the US.

Is leadership even aware?
