I'm so sorry to hear that you got laid off, I know that you probably feel so scared at the moment not knowing what lies ahead for you. I wish you the BEST!
I hope you're able to find your inner peace. I haven't lost my job, but I'm going through the toughest 2 months of my career. It dramatically affects my mental & physical wellbeing. So it appears that regardless if you're employed or not, we need to endure the tough times. Wish you all the best. Much love from Poland.
Yes, there is zero protection from losing a job in the US. Usually you will be paid a few weeks of pay, then rely on unemployment pay - which can be between 5% and 50% of your previous pay (depending on state and salary). That will last 6 months. You have to always be ready to lose a job in the US. I update a piece of paper in my house every month. It details my savings, and what my current company will give me if I get laid off tomorrow (4 weeks pay). I use this to write a date of when I would absolutely need a job again.
@@WordMadeFlesh777 On the other hand, a manager or company without staff has no worth at all. Most companys learn the hard way that paying minimum wage brings you staff with minimum effort. Suitable for flipping burgers, but most other jobs needs good staff. And even burger flipping can go wrong. Having some sort of protection like in almost any other country in the world makes people much more relaxed and in the end the company benefits from this.
That is the way it should be, if companies can not lay off people they will not hire, that is why Europe has such a limited start up scene and few big tech companies.
Learn to drive forklift. I work in tech and do a material handling. Everything is dynamic and not static. Even I have two full time jobs. I still do side hustle because the end goal, you shouldn't be dependent on any employer for paycheck.
Got laid off from my tech job. Good thing that i've had a gut feeling and started doing job interviews couple of months prior. Timed that perfectly - accepted an offer just about the same time layoff news about whole team termination rolled out.
Do not wait: apply for any possible job for income. Forget about "dream job". Take what is available, maintain skills at home and keep trying to get back to tech.
That is bad advice, focus on finding a job in your field for 8 hours a day, Coders code, even if they are not paid, keep training and studying and budling skills. When I was laid off, many years ago I spent 100 hours learning python, it paid off.
I was laid off from my tech job when my company was taken over. I paid pretty much all the cash I had to retrain as an SAP consultant when it paid huge rates. When you are young and laid off you can analyse the market and retrain for whatever you want.
YESSssss THE IRON E! mass immigration is the biggest job killer and also causing massive urban sprawl, pollution, noise, etc. There is no upside to mass immigration.
Just got laid off too. I did data analysis previously for a hospital, but left the field. Look into litigation support: very similar skillset and lawyers are always busy.
I was also laid off recently. Keep applying for the new jobs. Update and customize your resume for the different roles and organizations. You will easily land a job in the next few weeks.
Becca, be brave and have the courage to start a side hustle that you can grow slowly into a full time business of your own. Trust me it's worth it in the end. Persistence and determination are omnipotent.
As someone who lives in a small town, it blows my mind some of the starting salaries for the jobs you had on your screen. I know the cost of living is higher in big cities but "Data scientist marketing" starts at 152K .... whoa. I always thought IT jobs paid well but damn, if you are making that much you should be able to save enough so you have a comfy nest egg while you look. if not, make that a important thing your next job.
@@dynamo3059 "I only....make 96k" to me that salary is fantastic! I know its all relative to situation, kids, morgage and all of that, but thats good money where I come from.
You did not lose 2.5 years, you gained 2.5 years of experience. For any tech job, always pretend you only have six months left. What good things can you accomplish? What training can you do? How can you keep your skills relevant? Always have a few months of savings. You probably have a new job by now. I have been laid off a few times, not a big deal, it leads to better things, you don't want to be at a job where they don't need you.
The tech sector is very competitive, you need to constantly learn and make yourself invaluable to the team. Work life balance does not exist for the top tier - you need to add huge value everyday to ensure your position is secure.
Even though they can easily replace you with someone else, in tech, whenever a job post goes up on LinkedIn, you'll get at least 100 applicants in the span of a couple of hours. While you can't get a job for months and months, sometimes indefinitely, as you compete with tens and sometimes hundreds of other applicants. This is why job security is the most important thing, make sure you get into a job/industry that has good job security and value it over everything else, whether it be salary, vacation, etc.
The fact it was a voice message via email, not even a face to face meeting with staff members?!! That is f$%ked up! Usually you get 2 weeks notice of termination but told you last minute?! Did you even get paid out for your annual leave?! 😢
And some foreign immigrant fired her, not any better if some American fired her. But mass immigration is the biggest prob as why jobs are few. Sure u can pick strawberries in Salinas but the working conditions are brutal so the pay is not enough with respect to those conditions. More overpop, less jobs.
Only 19 of the 50 states require pay-outs for your unused vacation time. If you are on 'unlimited PTO (paid time off)' then you don't get anything. This is one benefit of companies going to 'unlimited PTO'
@@bonchidudeas for tech, it’s more offshoring jobs than it is immigration. Can’t hate on capitalism, it’s all about the bottom line and if they can find similar and cheaper quality abroad, the corporation will move in that direction.
I was never interested in working the tech industry, but I know people work in it. Unfortunately, these companies don't give a shit about you. Everybody is constantly on edge. They want you to move to be closer to their offices and come into the office 3-5 days a week as a mechanism of control. I see in another video that you got a job, and I'm happy for that. I just hate where the tech is right now.
All my friends are leaving tech after 27- 35 years …. They say it is a lonely world and the hate it … its one cause of depression in the world …outdoor jobs are healthy
The salaries in the tech industry are too high, which is why companies are always trying to cut corners, budget cuts, etc. These tech employees gets so many benefits and company-paid things that other employers never provide. Thus these businesses are always trying to balance their budgets.
Really unexpected thing that I saw was MBAs firing much smarter skilled people. I never saw my alumni talking about themselves getting laid off. Seems like they are busy firing people and getting reward out of it. I guess thats why technical people pursue top mba at the end.

We r not living in the normal time. Time to make choice: stay where we r or entertain the ìdea of change. Hint: FreeWill, Services To Others, Spirituality...😇😇😇
I don't think those tech jobs are ever coming back. It's easier for companies to buy 20,000 A.I. processors and build LLMs that can take the place of human employees. I remember Mark Zuckerberg saying he wanted A.I. to replace most of his employees at Meta. I think that goes for most tech companies. Why deal with humans if A.I. can do the job? Software programmers will no longer be needed, for sure, so they should just change careers as soon as possible. At least those who had high salaries were able to build some savings for the lean times ahead. Nvidia's CEO Huang said he wants to replace most human jobs with intelligent machines and investors are all for it. Goodbye, humans, you're no longer needed.
The total amount employed will never go down, just the type of work will change, I have been automating work for 20 years, if it is repeatable, a human should not be doing it.
im a lefty, i get it haha. any good developer picks themself up, dusts themself down and gets back in there. in the down time you should be writing projects that stretch you to your limits. linkedin is a good place for jobs, good luck.
It's great that you're using this time to do important things,like updating your résumé. If I may, it would help if you also used this time to set up & have a personal objective that goes beyond the jobs you work. Not sure what field in tech you fall under but something like building a personal app or website or whatever. It will help you stay grounded. Otherwise,keep looking forward.
LeetCode interview Prepping LMFAO. Yeah I'm effing off this tech field. People like you with years of experience willingly sign up for the humiliation ritual again. This isn't the SAT, this is your respectable career, why are you letting them humiliate you by saying "hey I see and confirmed that you have this many years of experience, but I'm still going to make you walk across glass to prove to me that you can".

been in tech 3 decades, never seen it this bad. hang in there.
same 29 years (soon 30) never seen it this bad.
how bad?
Over 20 years for me. Pay is getting too high in the US so companies are doing more with less and offshoring more
Yes, mostly because of unbelievably high hiring in the last few years with much higher salaries. This needs to come down to balance out.
do you have any advice for junior engineers or swe?
I'm so sorry to hear that you got laid off, I know that you probably feel so scared at the moment not knowing what lies ahead for you. I wish you the BEST!
Hold on to your teeth people, this layoff season is just getting started
Not at all, the type of work is changing , but not the total amount of jobs.

Wishing you the best Becca. You got this💯 Love your positivity.
Always be on the job market - you never know what the future holds.
"Today will be your last day", it's so crazy to think how easily you're getting fired in the US, zero protection?
Yes, there is zero protection from losing a job in the US.

Companies don’t exist to provide you with a job. They exist to make money. They either need you to help them make $$ or they don’t.

data scientist positions that pay that well typically require masters degrees involving some high level math.
That wasn't coffee, that was milk with some coffee added.
Not alone. 20+ yrs in tech, and it happened to me and thousands more. They are moving jobs to low cost markets and the USA is not low cost.
and AI will replace those low-paying workers in those shitheel countries as well
that is hellish take care of yourself and good luck
You did not lose 2.5 years, you gained 2.5 years of experience.

Always have a few months of savings. You probably have a new job by now. I have been laid off a few times, not a big deal, it leads to better things, you don't want to be at a job where they don't need you.
They just instantly signed u out of everything? Was that mid call?
Exact same thing happened to me. Its important to keep a positive mindset.
The tech sector is very competitive, you need to constantly learn and make yourself invaluable to the team. Work life balance does not exist for the top tier - you need to add huge value everyday to ensure your position is secure.
