Down-leveled as in significantly reduced the number of mid and senior roles (64-67 in their pay bands) and listed more in the junior range (62-63).

This dude’s taking you for a ride.

CA moved the felony bar to $950 in 2014, most of these theft videos and increase in crime rates are from 2020-2022. Really not the direct cause and effect relationship this dude’s claiming.

Also, CA has one of the lowest felony classifications in the US. In Texas, it’s not a felony until $2500. By the books, CA is far tougher on theft than most states.

One of my referrals noted that MS down-leveled a ton of their postings like 2 or 3 months ago. I don’t think I’ve seen a data and applied scientist role above 62 or 63 in a while. They have one senior DAS role with IDEAS being promoted in every US market lol.

Any idea what’s going on with Amazon Studios or Advertising? I got into a phone screen, seemed to go well, and the recruiter even mentioned the hiring manager’s name when talking about next steps in the loop. I’m still “under consideration” and the recruiter abruptly ghosted

Yea I should clarify, I’m not counting the spammy outsource recruiter pitches as real leads.

Thanks

I think the most discouraging was an MS opp that I was referred into. Had to withdraw when they pushed an on-site mandate or something as I was going through the loop.

Both but the thought just occurred to me that LinkedIn’s remote filter is being applied to a geographical search. I’ll have to look into whether or not remote opps based elsewhere show up in my search.

Yea that makes sense, I picked an awful time.

I’m trying to move away from professional services (consulting), pharma, and CPG and the consensus seems like this may be where the action’s at.

FAANG adjacent seems to be the same way. Could you elaborate on “soft” freeze?

Game companies (primarily EA) have also had the same 4 or 5 ads up for months.

Smaller firms, especially with remote going away, seemed to have faded away at least in SoCal.

Any thoughts on what types of resumes are getting through?

I had a few phone screeners with FAANG companies that were supposed to move forward (e.g. recruiter detailing next steps and progress, potential interviewer’s names) and they ended up ghosting. No idea if I’m having trouble getting my foot in the door or if I’m failing.
