Anyone else out there concerned that the market is going to go bear and we’ll be back to the days of endless layoffs and starving for projects?

I’d be surprised if we didn’t get a reset soon. LEK didn’t lay anyone off during ‘08 recession, so less worried

Fundamentals are strong. Volatility exhibits autocorrelation over the short term (more volatile periods tend to continue to be more volatile and less volatile periods tend to continue to be less volatile) that’s why the market lacked volatility for so long and now it’s come roaring back. We will continue to see big moves in both directions due to the phenomena mentioned above, at least until the fundamentals regain control.

No. Stop reading market news and following every twitbyte

The market is fine. We’ve just gotten used to historically low volatility

I work on a consulting team at a large software company. I’m a job hopper, around 2 years each at my first and second jobs and a little over a year at this job. I recently found out they’re shutting my team down. We’re not fired, but they’re transferring us to the core implementation team, which has a horrible reputation for malignancy, overworking, and isn’t at all what I was hired to do. How hard is it going to be to for me to find a new job? Should I just stay and try things out? What next?

WFH/Layoff/Security
Hi,
CCTC including all benefits is 16.57 with 8.3 YOE, primarily focused on Manual Testing.
Is it worth looking for another opportunity?
I am afraid after seeing layoffs news of EPAM, Publicis Sapient & most of the other companies calling employees in the office.

I seem to go through this cycle where I'll try to fix a problem, fix it and then go back to my old ways. I'm trying to fight against it but basically my performance review is coming up and I think it's likely I'm going to be let go because of my failure to meet expectations. Earlier in the year I was going through a rough time and working through it, I have gotten better over the course of the year but I feel it's not enough. I got fired from my last job. I'm so sick of this cycle

Is it any surprise we’re seeing mass layoff in tech? Years of rich friends hiring rich friends with no work ethic has lead us here. I know way too many tech people who work maybe an hour a day followed by errands and traveling. A lot of getting in these places is who you know, apparently that doesn’t work out like it used to. The amount of people who worked for Meta, Apple, Amazon, etc for a few months / maybe a year is astounding. it’s around that time frame a boss can tell if you’re worth it
