Predictions of a recession are nearly 100%. One sign it will happen is the recent number of layoffs and hiring freezes at major tech companies.
This week, the Facebook parent Meta will soon be added to the list of layoffs. The Wall Street Journal is reporting Meta will make its first round of wide-ranging layoffs in its history. The official announcement could come as soon as Wednesday. Reports say during the company’s third-quarter earnings call, CEO Mark Zuckerburg hinted at the layoffs saying, “Some teams will grow meaningfully, but other teams will stay flat or shrink over the next year.”
Hope is not lost if you’ve been laid off or if you’re looking for a new company to get ahead of your current company’s rumors of “downsizing.” Insider has put together a list of top-paying jobs from other major tech companies and start-ups.

First on the list is a position with Adobe. The software company is filling the role of Enterprise Sales Account Manager. The software company offers between $231,000 and $300,500 to someone with five years of enterprise software sales experience and a bachelor’s degree or MBA. The job is located in New York, NY.

Cisco is hiring for an ASIC Technical Leader. The position is a hybrid position based out of San Jose, California, and pays between $215,000 and $250,000 per year. The digital communications and technology company wants someone with hands-on experience who can understand and implement top-level design and improve the product.

India’s caste system has long placed Dalits at the bottom of a social hierarchy. California’s lawsuit says Cisco broke the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and California’s Fair Employment and Housing Act.
