Will the wave of Internet layoffs in 2019 have an impact on salary negotiations when changing jobs?[Copy link]
1. From November 2018 to March 2019, I opened Tencent News every day and saw layoffs everywhere, especially in the Internet and real estate industries. Does this environment have any impact on those who are currently looking for jobs? 2. Why has there been such a concentrated wave of layoffs since the second half of 2018? Is it because of the economic avalanche in 2019? What factors do you think caused it? 3. How do programmers with an annual salary of 400,000 or 500,000 find such jobs? Or do you think that if you are engaged in embedded systems, how many tens of thousands of annual salaries a programmer can make may be the top (with city coordinates)? Forum users who are interested can answer the above questions. I will first share my own humble opinions. For the first question, I personally feel that it still has some impact, especially for those who want to get high salaries in embedded systems. The priority is basically Internet companies that make smart hardware. Unfortunately, although the salaries offered by such companies are good, ranging from 20,000 to 40,000 yuan (on the recruitment website), a search found that they are all companies that have laid off a large number of employees, indicating that the company's finances also have some problems. In this environment, I feel that the salary will be suppressed by the personnel when interviewing for a job. Although the Internet layoffs seem to have nothing to do with hardware, I found that the salaries posted by some companies before the New Year were actually lowered a lot after the New Year. For the second question, I feel that the Chinese economy has actually been on a downward trend since 2008, but the downward trend was too steep after the second half of 2018, which gave people a deeper feeling. The Internet laid off so many people, to put it bluntly, there is no money, and these are all money-burning industries. Under the national economic downturn, it is becoming more and more difficult for enterprises to raise funds. In addition, it is becoming more and more difficult for the state to catch tax evasion in 2019. The social security payment base for employees is also required to be paid according to the actual salary base, which undoubtedly increases the burden on enterprises. Some enterprises have also been affected by the trade war. Everyone is welcome to talk about it, especially about the last question. I especially hope that those experts can also talk about how they found high-paying jobs.
When the wind stops, just wait for the next gust of wind. This is related to the overall environment and one's own business philosophy. Many people just follow the trend.
