If you were to get laid off today, how much savings do you have to bridge the gap in between? I feel like my firm will have a round coming up and not sure if I am going to make it.

If you think a round of layoffs is coming up I would suggest putting all money goals on pause and saving as much as you can. Also update your resume and start applying. This job market is tight and if you already have a couple leads or referrals it will make everything easier.

I got laid off in 2022 but had seen the writing on the wall and when I was let go I already had a final interview the following Friday.

Good luck OP🫡

Also I didn’t answer your question but I think 6 months of expenses is good.

I would say the general rule of thumb is 3-6 months, the more savings the better though. Good thinking to always be a little bit prepared for things that can happen. Keep the resume up to date and try to build and check in with the network all the time, not just when things go south!

There is lots of companies really taking a hit in the tech space. Is this something that people are nervous about?

Fishes, OK so this is true. Wipro is delaying the joining by half a month due to some restrictions or organisational changes & not ready to compensate for that half a month loss of salary. Very rude & absurd behaviour from them. Hence rejecting the offer as such company if u aren't sure when to ask for joining u may revoke the offer letter later on. Hence multiple options in hand is necessary nowadays. Infosys Tata Consultancy HCL Technologies
