Thread regarding Citrix Systems Inc. layoffs

It's awfully hard to get a job in this market

I just hope I don't get cut before I get a new job, but I'm getting desperate.... I'm curious, how long have you been looking for a job without success? Some say that job market could soon become even worse and that worries me a lot.

ex-IC5 Engineer here. It took me about a month and a half, because I was picky and wanted to go not to good, but to a great company. Salary is about the same, stock ~10x more, bonuses a bit worse (10w parental instead of 18w for example. But at CSG, this is going to be gone after this year anyway).

It’s probably because you suck at what you do. I’m not planning on going back to the workforce after Citrix, but to test the waters I submitted for position in 5 different companies and I got 5 offers.

Like the rest, I think this post is horribly misleading. I’m still looking, currently, but I’m not having any difficulty finding opportunities and offers.

I sent out four resumes, got three interviews, got two offers. All within 2 weeks, start to finish.

It took me about one month to find a great replacement job with better pay and benefits. I'm in sales, and still get calls from recruiters where I posted for an open position

I'm a marketing manager and it took me a month to land a new role with a big raise in base salary. So, stay positive and keep looking for your next role. It's out there...

SW Engineers land a new gig pretty quick.

I would say 4 to 8 months for everyone else.

I’m in final rounds and it’s the 2nd month of interviewing with hopefully my new company. I’m not a SW engineer position
