    Big Tech companies, like Meta, Google, and Amazon, have cut tens of thousands of jobs in recent months. Hiring freezes at many firms have followed. Meta recently rehired dozens of the people it laid off beginning last November—a drop in the bucket compared to the 11,000 people it let go last fall—and then completed more layoffs in its metaverse-focused Reality Labs division.

    Large companies are a different breed. I can’t imagine working for an org that expands and contracts by the tens of thousands. The fuck do you even do with that many people?

    In the past month, he estimates he’s had about three interviews a day and gotten close to a role in a few companies, but he hasn’t been picked yet.

    Scheduling 3 interviews a day and not getting an offer sure seems like something.

      He’s doing something wrong or doesn’t have the right background. He may be padding his resume for all we know. I’m not buying the narrative.
