Concerned about potential layoffs? My diary is always open to discuss the opportunities within the Quant space. One notable aspect is its immunity to layoffs! Moreover, you would significantly boost your current compensation (potentially doubling it), gain more ownership and autonomy, and experience a career progression based on meritocracy rather than time spent in company. Drop me a message, and I'd be happy to provide more information. #quantfinance #layoffs #bigtech

If you've been laid off from a tech job, you know all too well you're not alone. As reported by #washingtonpost, tech layoffs have gone from being a sign of business weakness for a company to a sign of strength, that it shows the company is being diligent. This quote from the article, from Mark Zandi, chief economist at Moody's Analytics, says it all: “That is the way the American capitalist system works. It’s ruthless when it gets down to striving for profitability and creating wealth. It redirects resources very rapidly from one place to another.” Employees are just resources that have a cost. People are simply a line on a spreadsheet. Loyalty is in one direction only. Keep close tabs on your personal finances and know what you'll do if/when the axe falls. Know what your plan B (and C) will be. Take care of yourself and those you love. That's what matters. #layoffs #tech #jobs

"Stanford business professor Jeffrey Pfeffer has called the phenomenon of companies in one industry mimicking each others' employee terminations "copycat layoffs." As he explained it: "Tech industry layoffs are basically an instance of social contagion, in which companies imitate what others are doing." Layoffs, in other words, are contagious. Pfeffer, who is an expert on organizational behavior, says that when one major tech company downsizes staff, the board of a competing company may start to question why their executives are not doing the same." The same happened with the Great Migration, Quiet Quitting, etc., and other trends. Their stock increases when they do this, and the social contagion shapes the economy. It is our "Don't Look Up Moment" with the economy. #careers #layoffs

Last year, tech companies laid off more than 260,000 workers according to layoff tracker Layoffs.fyi, cuts that executives mostly blamed on “over-hiring” during the pandemic and high interest rates making it harder to invest in new business ventures. But as those layoffs have dragged into 2024 despite stabilizing interest rates and a booming job market in other industries, the tech #workforce is feeling despondent and confused. https://lnkd.in/g7_iJXhx
