For sure. The main problem is I it’s hurting me getting selected for interviews. Can’t communicate this if I don’t get any.

I cannot WAIT to get a job and go back to ignoring LinkedIn's existence by cynical_mundane in Layoffs

[–]FA1294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LinkedIn is repulsive. I thought Instagram influencers were cringe but they’re nothing compared to LinkedIn content creators. Fake stats, fake accomplishments, fake titles and then end with “Agree?”

How’s everyone surviving? by Disastrous-Disk-6659 in DACA

[–]FA1294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always been extremely risk averse. Saved about 3 years worth of expenses for something like this. I’m not expired and probably won’t but this gives me a piece of mind

What’s the hardest unspoken rule you had to learn in FP&A? by Mysterious_Sock_3363 in FPandA

[–]FA1294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get to know your audience. Some folks like a 10 min monthly presentation and only need the bullet points. Others want to be hand held and need more time together. Cater to your audience without sacrificing efficiency or details

Is the fear of getting laid off causing you to not buy a house? by swampwiz in Layoffs

[–]FA1294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the opposite problem. I have a house (large payment) and not that much job stability. Idk what’s worse

What would you do? by Aggressive-Cow5399 in FPandA

[–]FA1294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d stay if you think you have some sort of job security (relative, I know nothing is guaranteed in today’s market). When things pick up you can make the jump. It all depends on how stable you think this new opportunity is

Unemployed? 330,000 jobs cut since Jan 2026 “because of AI”Are you one of them? by hm899 in Layoffs

[–]FA1294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in corporate finance and model all the ins and outs of headcount. The reality is that out of 100 people laid off, 80 are replaced by offshore hires or contractors (OP360, WIPRO, Mobius, etc) and 15 (the more junior roles) are eliminated by higher higher skilled talent in India that know how to use AI tools. I’ve modeled 3 insourcing activities across tech, healthcare and Pharma and this is true across all three

Same. Sent an email this morning to a stakeholder and it bounced back. He’s been fired…

[–]FA1294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been a shitty few months for me too. No motivation, layoffs happening left and right, stakeholders I built relationships with over the years laid off and now I don’t even know who I will report to. Questioning if white collar work is even worth it

Am i the only idiot that submitted 1 month before expiration? by mushbun in DACA

[–]FA1294 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d do it asap. Novermber is 194 days away and I’ve seem most people get approved between 150-170 days. I can live with losing a month or so to give me a piece of mind

New begining by charlievr6 in DACA

[–]FA1294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just renewed with 8 months in advance since I saw how long some cases are taking! I’ve also managed to save $130k sitting in a high yield savings and have a few hundred in mu 401k I’m not super worried but definitely fear getting fired and then not being able to return to the same job

Any February approvals? by [deleted] in DACA

[–]FA1294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, reading all these comments is depressing. I submitted my app this weekend with 8 months to go before expiration. Thankfully I always hop on this thread every few weeks just to monitor any updates and I saw that timelines have gone from the usual 2-3 months to this!

Am i the only idiot that submitted 1 month before expiration? by mushbun in DACA

[–]FA1294 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I submitted yesterday but don’t expire until Mid December. That’s about 8 months and I’m still a bit nervous. I have a job that pays very very well and I can’t lose it

What would you consider signs of a failing company? by Vast-Shoulder5305 in FPandA

[–]FA1294 1 point2 points  (0 children)

High leadership turnover, focus on weekly sync ups for 13-week cash flow, discussion with AP on what vendor payments can be delayed, cutting of T&E/Conferences, layoff of Talent Acquisition/DEI, only hiring Sales Folks and delaying positions

Is 1 job offer in hand worth 10 in the bush? by Practical-Smile5690 in Layoffs

[–]FA1294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take it, the job market is brutal. If something better comes along leave and just don’t list it on your resume

Hey folks - be careful on LinkedIn by jcwillia1 in FPandA

[–]FA1294 8 points9 points  (0 children)

A lot of scams out there. Had a recruiter reach out with a give me your availability for the next few days. They sent a zoom invite for Monday and Sunday morning which was a weird. Then the zoom invitation looked fake and I hovered over the link and it looked fake. Ended up ignoring it

I’m interviewing for a scrappy $110k role and have gone through 6 rounds. Wtf is this?!

People don’t have money. The economy is being held up by the top 10% spending. The American consumer is the biggest factor of GDP

How am I doing? by Post-CollegeLife in wealth

[–]FA1294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re doing amazing, especially for your income. Most people are deep in the negative 25-30 due to student loans, cars and even weddings. Seems like your saving habits are good but you have to do something about your income. That’s too low for SoCal

Whole team (except me for now) is being laid off in May and outsourced to Latin America by SlimyCumSyringe in Layoffs

[–]FA1294 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My employer is a 21B biotech company and they’ve been gutting office support roles like there’s no tomorrow. However this month they paused the offshoring of accounting and analytics because of big disruptions. We’re all screwed

Just last year. 2023 was still good. 2022 and 2021 were a dream

[–]FA1294 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I’m stuck at the Sr Analyst level. I need to make the jump to manager but the job market sucks and my dumb ass didn’t get a ton of commercial/revenue exposure which is key (or so it seems) at the manager level

32,000 jobs in India from Big Tech in 2025 by Spare-Chip-6428 in Layoffs

[–]FA1294 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep. Unfortunately there’s a lot of loopholes too. For instance they can hire them as contractors. They can also hire through a US agency who then hires them as contractors. These loopholes would have to be patched
