People excited on LinkedIn after getting laid off (Blind)

• _anony🐭 (GoDaddy): LinkedIn is a cringefest
• yippeekai (Verily): Blind is negativity. LinkedIn is positivity.
• 111!! (Amazon): I genuinely wish people had the courage to openly discuss atrocities and the job market on LinkedIn. The industry has been ruined by sugarcoating and fake, performative positivity.

This market is wild (Blind)

• Not-a-SWE (Google): Companies with more resources can afford to interview more candidates. I was accepted by Harvard and rejected by my state flagship. My mom was a similar situation; Harvard was one of the few schools during her time that accepted women.
• zLei37 (SoFi): I’ve talked to 17 companies this year and only one of them was from an application. The rest reached out to me. One of them even rejected my application a month earlier and then a recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn.
  
  Applying is an absolute crapshoot luck of the draw situation. You have to make it past the AI filters with the keywords they are looking for, and then be lucky enough to be in the most recent 20 resumes that the HM looks at, before they get tired of it and go back to their regular job.
• hvnisabed (Wikimedia): My experience as well. Getting interviews at top tier AI startups and getting ghosted from no names. Never been in such a weird market.

Entire savings sitting in cash (Blind)

• NoAzCrody (Amazon): Bruh. you had 1.5M since 2019? Should be at least 25M by now if you played in right. 10 at least if you went with the safest ETFs
• keEM87 (Meta): Say it after me: Time in the market beats timing the market
• pqs888 (Broadcom): Don’t overthink. Many people give you unnecessary wisdom on this garbage app when they have lost 100s of thousands of making big through speculative stocks like ark invest. Voo looks no brainer but no one really likes it. Very very few people make big out of stocks. Simply speaking, you may have lost some money to inflation but you are lucky not losing 1.5m in gambling stocks. If you have long term horizon, keep slowly DCAing on Voo.
  
  Keep in mind, Voo on average gives 7-8% returns. From past 2 years it gave 20% .. so good thing may or may not continue and assess your strategy beased on whether you want to keep it very long term 15+ years

AMZN layoffs meeting invite Scheduled (Blind)

• turbodunce (Intuit): It’s a surprise promotion!
• gtph4312 (Amazon): That’s the standard getting fired meeting.
  
  Mass layoffs just get an email, no manager/HR 1:1 cause the manager isn’t aware of the layoff till it happens.
• coffee777 (Synopsys): It’s clearly a layoff meeting. The standard layoff procedure in India. Be prepared. Take any important personal data from your laptop.

Hubspot lays off 7% (Blind)

• hryi (DocuSign): Writing is on the wall for their product. Expect another 40% cuts
• njhdxh (Google): Wow. The most underperforming person in that company is the CEO. The stock performance is for everyone to see. Sure they weren’t gutted. The rot runs deep
• Sjfvk00 (DoubleVerify): Their recruiters were spamming me hard just a few months ago. This market sucks, every job lead looks like a mouse trap
