I was fired after I reported a partner for a serious (criminal) ethics violation. The firm covered it up. Are all companies like this in the end? I’ve lost my trust and don’t know how to start over.

Do you have evidence of the illegal activity? If you wrongfully fired, you should seek a labor lawyer. Not sure what state you live on, but here in California you can get fired and they do not have to give you a reason why.

I’ve been tracking the recent tech layoffs. It’s hard too see so many talented people be affected. Has anyone seen data around the type of roles being most affected?
