The first days of the year began with a resounding bang – and not necessarily in cheery accords. Almost all major tech companies announced they had started or would begin laying off staff, or pausing hiring – which naturally left many IT professionals puzzled and wondering if their jobs can be considered ‘safe’ in the current climate.
Despite the headwinds and the mass layoffs from major tech firms like Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, Oracle, Dell, Twitter, Zoom, Salesforce and so many others – there remains demand – and even though these companies have announced cutbacks on their personnel schemes, they still have between 400 and even 4.000 open positions worldwide (status at the end of January 2023, based on open positions communicated on LinkedIn).
Vivien Untaru, VON Consulting Tech Division CEO, an IT service provider company operating in Germany, US, SEE and UAE also comments: “The entire tech world has been rocked by the news of company restructurings going on worldwide, but we see in all the countries where we operate that the demand for developers is still active – albeit at a significantly slower rate than in previous years. Developers will no doubt preserve a good position to weather the economic storm”.
Make sure not to be lured by what may seem too good to be true – bright lights, big salaries, great employment packages, especially under the current circumstances. Look into the long-term prospects, as well as an organization’s staff retention. Also make sure you do your research, try to collect peer reviews about working in a particular company.
Most importantly, in a time when employers are open to remote working, seek global job opportunities. It’s true, analyzing the different roles available, comparing company ethos, career trajectories and packages can be a handful even for the most proficient data scientist, but don’t make rash decisions, or accept the first offer that comes your way. By working with a recruitment specialist, you can help yourself to get access to all the information that you need to make an informed choice. Whether you decide to go it alone or consult a tech recruitment agency, take your time and do your research.
