#jobsearch

I’m beginning to notice a troubling pattern in my job search. When the hiring manager is Indian or most members of an interview panel are Indian, I rarely advance. Looking back, my successful applications all involved white, non-indian, interviewers.

I understand that this pattern alone does not prove bias and that many factors influence hiring decisions. Still, after losing my previous role to HIH and seeing that IT departments are majority Indians, it is very disheartening to think that I
might never find a job again. I am competing with Indians here and outside the US.

This is not a judgment about every Indian interviewer or hiring manager. It is an honest observation about my own experiences and a pattern I believe is worth examining. Has anyone else noticed possible affinity bias during their job search? Have you noticed the ratio of Indians and non-Indians in your team?

Is it a thing here? I work for another corp and recently saw the influx of lab techs with PhDs in Chem/ChemE. I guess that’s why ordinary folks can’t get a job anymore, this and AI / jobs offshoring.

Bankrupt with in a year , don't let this fail company give tunnel vision

Did anyone over 50 land a new job after being layed off from this stellar company??
If so, how long did it take you and how did you do it.
Lenovo gave us this free career placement LHH but I find it boring and of no value.

I know this restructuring is really difficult, and I understand how stressful and uncertain things must feel right now. But at the end of the day, a company is still a company. Its priority is the business and the money, not necessarily the people. Whether STCB is performing well or not, or whether the Computational Team is doing a great job or struggling, it ultimately doesn’t change the fact that you need to think about your own future first. So, instead of worrying too much about what the company is going to do, start updating your résumé, interviewing with other companies, and preparing yourself to leave if the right opportunity comes along. There are many better companies out there. If you feel like you’re missing some skills, you can work on developing them before making a move, or you can move to another company first and continue building your skills there. Either way, the important thing is to create opportunities for yourself rather than waiting for the company to decide your future.

For the influx of PIPs coming in, where are you located and which BU? Before someone starts yelling “WHY DO YOU WANT TO KNOW?”, it’s because this would help folks in these countries/BU to know what’s coming and start looking for new roles.

I'm not even trying anymore. Most of my time is spent on the job search, since I know that no matter what I do, I'll be shown the the door at the end. I used to give it my all and then some every single day and I still got put on a PIP. I simply don't give a single damn anymore.

These are growing in number, so I just thought to warn other people who're as desperate to leave as I am. Be careful of recruiters reaching out on LinkedIn, and if a job looks too good, it probably is. Check the name, the phone number, and the company. Sadly, times like these attract many predators.

I know there have already been quite a few posts about STCB, but still I wanted to ask again because I genuinely want to understand what the plan is going forward.

For me, the biggest confusion is whether it makes sense to start looking outside and jump to another company earlier than I had planned, or just stay with STCB, take it a little easy, and see how things settle down. With so much uncertainty, even a little clarity on the future would really help.

Just because FIS is a disaster doesn't mean the industry as a whole is.

Curious to what people have done to successfully find employment elsewhere. Does LinkedIn really work? I see a lot of job postings on there, but also lots of applicants. Are recruiter/head hunters still the best route? What has worked and what hasn't. Thanks in advance and hope for helpful responses.

My interview loop was cut short with no reason other than the position was no longer available. Quite annoying but thankfully, the recruiter reached out before I invested more time in the process.

They are eliminating all of the TLs in practice management, giving them 60 days to find a new job in the firm with not many other details provided on what then. As many of us saw, once you were ISP’d there was no going back, you were black balled.

It’s not over people, they are still cleaning house, no one is safe. Get out while you can.

Is it worth applying for other roles? Ive been here just a tad over a year and my supervisor said theyre not hiring for the rest of this year, but she didn’t answer when i asked about applying to other roles internally

I'd like to finally move on, one way or another.

I was laid off this year and I snagged a better job that's more money and remote. I also canceled all my policies and went elsewhere for big savings.

It gets better, plan now and walk away. If i can do it so can you. Usaa is dead, let it die.

I've seen too many coworkers get laid off and panic because they'd been out of the hiring game for years. Start looking even if you're staying. Apply, interview, and keep your resume fresh. The worst that happens is you see what's out there. The best is you get an offer you can't refuse. You've got nothing to lose.

I've watched coworkers jump to competitors and complain about the exact same issues we're having. It's the same circus, just different clowns.

I've been thinking about what happens if I get the call. Do I start sending applications the next day? Or do I take some time, a couple of weeks or a month, to reset before diving back in? I've seen people do both, but I'm not sure which is right.

The best benefit my new job offers isn't pay or perks. It's a culture that won't ki-l me with stress.

Anyone else keep applying for internal jobs and not even getting an interview when you are qualified for the job?

Job cuts are expanding beyond the tech sector, affecting government, retail, and financial services. Older workers, often in higher-paying positions, face increased difficulty re-entering the workforce due to age bias and evolving skill requirements. Industries like healthcare, education, and utilities offer more stability for this demographic. Staying current with skills and maintaining professional networks are crucial for mitigating risks. Understanding industry trends can help individuals prepare for potential job market shifts.

Has anyone else run into problems getting your unemployment paid in Texas? They denied our claims for payment because of getting the severance package! So now after 6 months separation, they will now start the 6 month clock to claim. So 6 months of logging every job search so far, and now have to keep on logging it. No one is even willing to interview a database programmer in their 60’s! We appealed, and it took them 12 weeks to finally set up a hearing on it next week. Any tips?? TIA

Time to look for a new job!

My team has been reduced by 30% in the last year while Oracle GPT has not made us 30% more efficient. The people let go in the last layoff had been at Oracle a long time which has made things harder slower too. My job has turned into a death by meeting multitasking he-l.

I’ll be looking for other companies to work for if my team is reduced again.

5 people left our team in the last 2 months. Everyone else is looking for new jobs. It’s becoming genuinely concerning, seems like a race on who’s going to get out first.

Guys, regarding the “so called” JV….its not!

Coming at it from a sales perspective BT have the client footprint, better infrastructure and most significantly, staff costs are significantly lower than Verizon’s

There are very few instances where Verizon has deeper client facing relationships in EMEA….especially in their own backyard (UK).

The Verizon Sales/Sales Managers/Sales Directors in are particularly vulnerable as BT run a tight ship with grading/remuneration. Just do the maths…this is all about efficiency.

Check what BT pay your role online…you will be shocked…they won’t have two pay scales…and everyone at BT isn’t getting a rise!

The support people will be retained in line with the one year commitment to avoid disruption to clients. This also allows sufficient time for Verizon clients, many of which were sold solutions that couldn’t be delivered/supported, to be standardised.

I am sorry to be bearer of bad news but you really should be updating your CV’’s…don’t be fooled…this re-badging ends badly for Verizon.

Show Verizon the same loyalty they have shown you… make the move now….before the decision is taken out of your hands.

It is becoming quite population take a leave of absence and focus on finding a new job during the leave

Citi's job board is a total fraud. Every fake interview is just a cruel waste of time for a job already promised to some buddy or contractor.

HR and managers have zero morals. Someone needs to audit this rotten system, and the candidates who applied internally should start saving screenshots of the staff lists before and after few months to catch them in their lies.
What a waste of time!

If you are NSI this year be very careful before choosing to try the PIP. This year managers have been told they will not be allowed to pass people on the PIP. Managers are scared of going against the guidance as passing people will be seen as not willing to make the hard choices that management material need to make. You are better off taking the PIL and using the time to look for a job.

There are a lot of jobs out there and employers looking for people. Make the chanage. You will be glad you did.

Meaning, we're so sc--wed. It's not even about being laid off, but if everybody is doing, where the he-l are we supposed to find new jobs?

No president's club this year!

I'm not sure why, but remote jobs have started popping up in my feed again, and not bad ones. I'm tempted to start applying, if I can get the courage. The devil I know still seems better than the devil I don't, but I miss WFH so much that it could push me to go for it.

A question for others who've been applying: have you been getting lowball offers all over the place? With pay being around 50% of what it should be based on all the factors, including your experience?

Come and bring your friends.
