Too many variables to consider, but a high-level generalization, being in a role where you generate revenue is always better than a cost center. Additionally, B4 traditionally stands firm during recessions - there are teams that are let go but usually recruiters (just like every tech company has done these last few weeks) and low performers. Some are more resilient than others because of financial incentives of a partnership vs a public company beholden to shareholders, but you’re likely more safe at B4 than fintech

Buddy, time is always right. Not everyone magically gets laid off. Very few do as a matter of fact. Take it.

What do you mean possible recession?

Can anyone offer any evidence thats points to the contrary? We may very well be trending towards a recession but saying that we’re already in a recession seems inaccurate.

How often do you even see B4 layoffs? There’s always work to be done

At Deloitte its an annual ritual.

What level?

You'll have to drive sales. And that can be a challenge in a recessionary environment but not necessarily bad.
