I've been laid off yesterday. One of the biggest networking HW/SW vendors, SF area. This thread is soothing. I owe you, OP. We all do.
Poloniex cryptocurrency exchange (Boston, MA https://poloniex.com/ ) is still hiring, crypto markets are doing fine - we make money whether it goes up or down. Interviews over Google Hangouts. http://poloniex.careers/
Is Poloniex remote or is everything onsite in BOS?
Just signed a lease for a larger apt with twice the rent. Got laid off within the hour. The new landlord is not wanting to let me out of the lease. They already accepted the deposit and first months rent. Really bad timing.

Chiming in here with a bit of data on the hiring side of things. I'm the cofounder of SharpestMinds, an ISA-powered mentorship marketplace for data scientists. For all the obvious reasons, we track the hiring rates for our grads very closely and have been keeping close tabs on the pandemic's effects on the tech job market. Our observations so far: 1. Hiring in tech has definitely not gone to zero, even for the junior…
>1. Hiring in tech has definitely not gone to zero, even for the junior-level roles we skew towards. This always makes me curious. Why do companies look for junior levels instead of senior ? It seems to me that with the choice you would want experience if it was an option. Disclaimer : am employed not looking for work simply perspective
My intuition is that layoffs will be limited to speculative ventures; i.e., startups that aren't profitable yet and/or are highly dependent on outside investment. Risk is suddenly very unattractive, which is a major turnaround from 6 months ago. I don't think tech in general is in trouble. As a whole it's probably one of the least in-trouble sectors as the world moves online. We'll just see a lot of developers shifti…
Friday will be the day we find out how much boards are asking their companies to reduce burn. The first large wave of layoffs will probably happen this Friday and then it will be a nervous few weeks. Much more similar to 2001 than 2008.
Nobody in my team has been laid off so far. However we have nothing to work on, and we most of us believe it is only a matter of time. We are sort of stuck in a limbo at the moment.
I’m a DevOps/Linux Systems Engineer/SRE with 20 years in industry, about 5 as a developer and the rest as operations. Looking for anything remote, or possibly in Austin, TX. I have worked remote before. Besides AWS and Linux, I’ve got experience implementing incident management practices, agile/scrum for infrastructure teams, and have worked remote for over a quarter of my career.
At the beginning of the year, I decided it was time to find a new job after 10 years with my employer. I spent February doing interview prep and conducting interviews. Back then, the COVID-19 was mostly limited to China, markets and governments weren't terribly concerned about COVID-19. I accept a job offer, put in my two weeks notice, and my last day at was last Friday. Hardly anyone was seriously concerned about CO…
Which is brilliant... :/
Fortunately they're rather a hitech company so I hope we can just work remotely.
Still have to go and collect laptop and rsa certs and such though...
