Yesterday, I came across this video from an HR guy I follow.
Then I read this article this morning about more layoffs, specifically at Google.
Google Cuts Hundreds of Jobs in Engineering and Other Divisions
So, even more layoff pain in the tech sector as we launch into 2024. My heart goes out to my friends at Google, Meta, and Amazon. It’s a hard time to be in tech.
I wonder when we’ll see a rebound. I’ve seen some guesses about later this year, or 2025. That’s really hard to guess. It will, I’m sure. But what will the economy look like when that happens?
What I’m confident in, though, is that the market has changed and keeping up on those changes will be critical. I need to proactively manage my career. Which is a bit intimidating, but also liberating.
Anyway, onwards.
