#joboffer

Comments if your exit date is set as your departure (taking the package), Or choosing to roll. There are few internal jobs posting but not sure if real or posted just for fake pretend. I applied for every job I could, over 100 internal jobs. Four interviews, but no offer.

Tough job market currently, hope few land.

I recently went through an interview process for a role in upstream. Not a normal process and the interviews some of the strangest I’ve ever had. I was asked for pay slips then after some months of radio silence was made an offer. The offer claimed Aramco is a “wealth building opportunity”, yet the package on offer was 30% less than my current comp. Seriously, who moves jobs for a pay cut? I politely refused!

Anyone else got it? I'm in SF bay area, and the letter has couple job codes for bay area too. It asks me to apply for those.
Why does Oracle send out this letter by Fedex? It seems they laid off too many people, and they're desperately looking for new ones. I just had a long vacation, and planned to start looking for new job now, so I'm thinking if I should apply. If I do, and got the offer, do I need to return the package I got earlier?

Those who have gotten an offer, if they accept, they can still be refused? Is that true? What's the point then? I didn't get one, but if I did, man, I'd be pi---d.

Have a lot of people been applying for jobs or just waiting to see what happens first?

I've been applying and interviewing for months. I get callbacks and interviews, but then all I get is silence. I get ghosted again and again. No rejection email, nothing. That's how bad it is out there right now. That's bad as it is while I'm employed, I'm not voluntarily entering that game without a job.

Are you taking the severance or are you applying for a new role?

LPL's recruiter told me in March that there was a hold on hiring till end of May. This is now June. All of my applications are getting rejected without a phone call.

I got my first offer after six months, but then I read about them and they have the exact same issues we do. There's no point in accepting it and losing my seniority for the same thing. What a depressing situation.

Centene Corporation Chief Executive Officer Sarah London earned a total calculated compensation of $19,506,298 for the 2025 fiscal year. This represents a slight decrease from her 2024 total compensation package of $20,602,148.

Andrew L. Asher — Executive Vice President & Chief Financial Officer (CFO)Total Compensation: $16,072,880

And that's just those two.

Maybe get rid of them first. How many jobs could be saved?

Applied for a new position at another bank. I’ve made it through 4 interviews and waiting for a response. The weird part is they reposted the position online a couple of hours before I completed the 4th interview. I would think I would have received a decline before the reposted the position but I had not even completed the last interview yet. Is it a bad sign??? Has this happened to anyone?

Iowa will lay off 200 state workers. This action stems from a plan to privatize IT management. The state is contracting with Amazon Web Services and Cognizant Government Solutions. This move aims to save Iowa over $525 million in 10 years. Affected employees may receive job offers from Cognizant.

Salesforce conducted a new round of employee layoffs. The cuts impacted teams for Agentforce AI, Mulesoft, and Marketing Cloud. A California regulatory notice confirmed 86 job eliminations. These latest reductions follow previous layoffs in January. Salesforce's stock has declined significantly this year amid AI concerns.

I’ve worked here a little over two years and have seen a few people leave, but none of them mentioned getting a better offer to stay. At past jobs, managers sometimes tried to match pay or move people into a different role. I’m not sure if that’s something this place does. Has anyone seen it happen, or is notice usually just accepted?

Two Ohio companies issued WARN notices during May 2026. These notices affect more than 200 employees in total. First Brands Group plans to lay off 110 workers in Cuyahoga County. Wood Group USA Inc. will cut 92 jobs in Hebron. WARN notices provide workers with at least 60 days advance notice.

I really, really want to leave US Bank, but I'm wondering if it's safe to join a place that obviously is not shy about cuts. Has anyone here taken a job at a company that recently had layoffs? Would you do it again?

VTPs incoming! 104 weeks! Low guys are getting a job offer guarantee 1-7 states away to fill the gaps after VTPers leave. Word coming down next week. Have fun with allllll that.

I left EM a little while ago to move to booming data center industry where they need capital projects people and pay better

Do some research and apply. Why not see?
Base Salary a little lower than EM but more than made up with near term cash and stock

Example. CL27/28 with 15 years experience can get you this
Base: 250k
Annual cash bonus: 20%
Stocks: $800k-$1.2M spread over next 4 years. No ridiculous 3 and 7 year waiting to get couple hundred XOM shares.
Basically $500-600k+ per year
And even know some CL 28/29 folks that are looking and can get closer to $800k all-in.

Or you can stick around and work with disrespectful people like Dan W or Carman M!
Good luck!

Monroe School Transportation Inc. will lay off nearly 200 workers. This follows a competitive bidding process for school transportation services. Transpo Bus Service secured the new contract, replacing Monroe. Transpo's co-owner is offering positions to the affected Monroe employees. The Department of Labor also met with workers to help guide them into new jobs.

Almost gave up. Fingers crossed, everyone, please. I'm so demoralized here that getting out is about saving my sanity now. Hard to believe I was once excited to work here.

I have two job offers that I am considering, and one is from IBM consulting services. Great company but with so many of the big firms laying off by the 10’s of thousands, it gives me pause to accept the IBM offer.

Any insights about job stability?

For those who recently landed a new job:

• How long did your job search take from the time you started applying until you accepted an offer?
• What was your overall approach (networking, recruiters, direct applications, referrals, etc.)?
• Roughly how many applications, interviews, and final-round interviews did you go through?
• What do you think made the biggest difference in helping you land your new role?
• Looking back, what would you do differently if you had to start your job search again?

I’m trying to get a realistic sense of today’s job market and learn from strategies that actually worked.

I have heard from several people in the industry that Medtronic has become a known quantity. Candidates are turning down offers and recruiters are struggling to fill roles because everyone knows what it is like to work here.

Now I'm jobless. Thanks Intuit. I turned down another offer to join here. What an amazing thank you you gave me. Also, fu-k you.

i'm at bofa and just interviewed for a role on this team but I'm worried after reading this post.

Was offered an internal position slightly below advertised salary on internal site & on LinkedIn. When I pushed back was told the pay range was "actually lower than advertised" - hm indicated the advertised rate was for midline to highest and I was told I can't qualify for midrange b/c the new grade was much higher than my current rank.

USB would NOT pay me for the role and job that I would be doing. They wanted to pay me off of my current salary & a certain % of the advertised midline - was firmly told no wiggle room that's how offers are made now.

Promptly declined and the manager seemed surprised. So I'm qualified enough for the job but don't deserve the pay? No thanks I'm not desperate. My next move will be to a better employer.

Anyone know who is hiring these days.

I'm still in disbelief about my rescinded offer. I had a signed offer letter, a start date, and a moving truck booked. Then they called and said the role had been eliminated. I keep staring at my email waiting for them to say it was a mistake.

I have an offer thats paying 20k less and its in person. considering taking it for sanity. someone talk me out of it. all things considered, I can afford the salary hit with relatively little changes other than amount saved.

Dozens of San Diego Unified School District employees will receive new job offers. These employees previously faced potential layoffs earlier this year. The district reached agreements with three employee associations. Sixty-nine at-risk employees can now accept new district roles. Human Resources found existing open positions for the upcoming school year.

I'm job hunting right now and what I'm finding is that some roles pay well but have mediocre titles while others have great titles but the salary is significantly lower. I wonder what matters more to the people here. The actual money in your pocket, or the title on your LinkedIn? Not that I'm getting any offers yet, but I'm just curious.

Hi all, I am still pretty early in my career (4 yrs of experience) but I am on some major projects within my team and I am the only person who knows how to do certain things or navigate certain systems. I asked for plan on a pay raise mid last year since I am on 6-8 projects at a time and deliver quality every time plus efficiency gains, and it’s been crickets whenever I follow up. They only gave me a 5/5 on the review and 3% raise with a sh---y bonus. I know I’m worth more than that.

I am interviewing for different roles externally that will pay me 30-40% more and have a good feeling that I will receive an offer soon. Only problem for me is that I am not sure what to do when it comes to giving my 2 weeks notice. I really enjoy my colleagues and don’t want to put them in a rough spot because we are already stretched thin as a team. I want to prep in advance but find little time to document everything I do in its entirety to help with the transition for my teammates.

How would you navigate this situation? I am definitely taking a new job offer externally and not staying here since it’s left a bad taste in my mouth.

I've been applying for two months and I've gotten three calls back. Is anyone actually hiring right now or is everyone just posting fake jobs?

I have a lot of bad things to say about Dell, but pay is not one of them. What's the biggest jump you've ever gotten?

How the he-l are we supposed to leave Oracle if companies are rescinding offers a day before people are supposed to start? Someone posted about accepting a role back in February. He did the paperwork, got the start date, told his family, gave his notice and then they rescinded it eight days later. No explanation, just sorry. How is anyone supposed to plan their life when this can happen?

What’s with the multiple FSE job openings currently in the US? Isn’t the plan to fully move to Unisys?

Do ye still accept people from outside of the US? Would it be worth a try?

They hire people to work on a contract they won. When the contract work is completed nine out of ten times, they lay the people off. Most the contracts this company wins are short term.
You would have more job security accepting a job at Home Deport than you would ever have in accepting a job at Booz Allen.

I am a US citizen. I did an interview for Lead IT Analyst role. It is a remote role in the US. The 2 interviewers were Indians (Telugus). I answered each and every question correctly and I didn’t get the role.

Could the role have gone to someone from their community?

Is there a way to find out?

I've got an offer from a startup. The role is a step up, more senior title, and more interesting work, but my total compensation would drop by about forty five percent compared to where I am now. The difference is equity. If they IPO in the next few years, I could make way more than I'm making now. If they don't, or if the stock is worthless, I've just taken a massive pay cut for nothing. I'm trying to decide if I'm crazy for even considering it. I've got a mortgage and a kid. Stability matters. But I'm also miserable at Open Text. Has anyone taken this kind of risk and had it pay off?
