NISS hosted an Industry Panel on Navigating Massive Layoffs, Hiring Freezes and Tech Industry Careers in 2023 on February 15, 2023. Receiving recent media attention, companies in big tech had a substantial decrease in their positions and have stopped hiring in the last few months. In contrast to the huge rise of positions available during the rise of the pandemic in 2020-2021, many companies indeed overestimated how many positions they would need in 2022-2023, which has led to the massive declines we're seeing today. Although many students are studying statistics and data science degrees and dream to enter the kind of jobs that the tech industries provide, could this still be possible given the drawbacks of positions in recent months? As an early-career statistician and data scientist ready for finding your next position, how can you secure your position in this industry? What opportunities currently exist for job seekers right now?
