*Panel on Navigating Massive Layoffs, Hiring Freezes, **and Tech Industry
Careers in 2023*

*Wednesday, February 15, 2023 from 12/noon - 1:30pm ET*
It’s all over the news: companies in big tech have drastically diminished
their positions and stopped hiring in the last few months. There was a huge
rise of positions available during the rise of the pandemic, but many
companies indeed overestimated how many positions they would need and this
has led to the massive declines we’re seeing today.
Many students studying statistics and data science degrees dream to enter
the kind of jobs that the tech industries provide, is this still 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?
Instead of our regularly scheduled career fair in February, NISS is
bringing together statisticians to discuss the issue of finding a job
during the massive layoffs, hiring freezes, and give advice to prospective
employees on getting hired in the tech industry in 2023.
“*Nearly 200,000 tech employees have been laid off since the start of 2022,
according to Layoffs.fyi, a site that tracks job cuts in the sector. Four
of the largest tech companies — Alphabet, Amazon, Meta and Microsoft —
have
announced a total of more than 50,000 job cuts in recent months*.” – NY
