I have not heard anything but you never know. Honestly, I think a recession or poor performing economy will not affect lay offs at companies like meta and Google as much as AI. Both meta and Google are making huge pushes towards AI and replacing actual employees as they go whenever possible.

True! We're essentially designing our own replacements haha.

People have been predicting (and some have been cheerleading for) a recession for three and a half years and it hasn't happened. But layoffs may happen even as the recession doesn't. With large companies like Google and Meta it tends to be some division was overstaffed and they decide it's not working and they clean house. That's probably just part of the business from now on, companies try to anticipate trends, and if they don't pan out things go sideways.

I agree! Meta shifted their focus from the Meta verse and I can't imagine everyone on that team got absorbed. I am more trying to get a feel for potential cost cutting measures that will affect (almost) all teams.

Is there a definitive guide to cost of living? The obvious cost of living centers (SF, NYC, LA etc.) get covered a lot, but I’m wondering where my city falls. It’s a modest Midwest city with ~100k residents but is a relatively touristy spot. It often feels like a MCOL area but I’m not sure how to adequately judge that, and it would be helpful to know when comparing salaries and the like.
