How come January is the worst? I thought it was among the best.
- Tiktaalik 3y agoI guess December would be even worse. But similar reasons. Half of January is Xmas/NY hangover. Things just slow to startup again.
- techcode 3y agoBig companies mostly work on quarterly (so earnings call) cycle. Hence depending on general economic situation (and of course specific industry/company). And just like you might be getting sweet offers to change your insurance/ISP/etc, recruiters/head-hunters might be encouraged to hit their KPIs a bit higher the closer to end of quarter/half-year/new years it is. Also bigger companies might reorg (both teams/people and change plans/KPIs which is usually known as pivot) around new years - for those same reasons. With all of that - January/February is usually "Let's see how the latest course of course adjustment is going to play out".
