Thread regarding JPMorgan Chase & Co. layoffs

Current Job Market

For people looking for a new job, how is that going for you? I feel like we’re going through a major paradigm shift right now with so many companies starting to offer 100% remote. I started applying for new jobs this week and will update as I see how it goes.

Companies are promoting the "diverse, inclusion & equity policies". If you are white male looking for a position in a dominantly white male field. Good Luck!!!

Got rejected for 2 seasonal jobs that I exceed the minimum qualifications for (no interview, just applied).
I've been looking at different company job boards & they were looking slim, but when I look on these forums, it explains why... Mortgage industry is quite troubled right now... so there's that! I'm taking my time w my search, trying to be selective, & thinking about how I can change career fields (what other industries might I like?) Working out, eating healthy, cleaning, etc.

Phuckin I started applying for new jobs this week. I want to be 100% remote. Hybrid is just a case of them throwing a dog a bone - one they can easily take back. That’s just what JD will do too.

If you are married, you are going to be with your wife 24/7. I doubt anyone would want to live like that.

My boss is like that. He is old and a vp with no life. Always talks of getting out of house and returning to office. Thankfully for me I got a new better job and am leaving next week

Speak for yourself. If you’re going bit stir crazy at home, It’s because you got no life outside of work, so there is that.

I am starting a new position at another bank and it is hybrid. Three days a week in office. I don't mind. Started going a bit stir crazy at home.
