Can you elaborate? I've been working in tech for 15 years and FAANG for 5. We've always had layoffs. | ||

I've been in the tech industry for 45 years. Layoffs happen regularly. Well, not regularly, what it is is a chaotic system. There will be good times and bad times. The best way to deal with it is to immediately save, at a minimum, 6 months of runway. Preferably a year. When you're in between jobs, work on: 1. improving your job skills 2. network 3. build your resume by contributing to open source 4. start your own business | ||

I don't intend to be dismissive by sharing a bunch, I ate a bunch of downvotes and there's no singular, like, Wikipedia article for "tech layoffs spiked significantly in 2022 and have stayed elevated" - so this is a mix of informal and formal and academic and business news that treats that knowledge as implicit. https://www.nerdwallet.com/finance/learn/tech-layoffs https://www.reddit.com/r/Layoffs/comments/1ljvpr4/where_all_... https://progresschamber.org/insights/tech-has-shed-nearly-20... https://www.washington.edu/news/2025/05/14/tech-industry-lay... | ||
