Agreed. Layoffs are inevitable during crisis.

Lol, the fear is real! Although layoffs in this sector haven't been as bad as in other industries. Not sure anyone is "safe" at this point

This is the best time to get entry-level jobs in finance. If you can land one, you’re well paid relative to other industries, you’re safe compared to mid-level folks who tend to be on the chopping block first, and you get all of the trial-by-fire experience that comes with volatile markets

What are your thoughts on the Scrum Master role? I’ve worked with a few now and out of 5 of them, only 1 seemed to be of any help. Most of the time we have to explain every detail multiple times and they still don’t understand what we’re doing. I feel that the role should be reserved for employees with experience in the systems they work in.

There’s no excuse that by the age of 25 you have never tried therapy. I’m speaking directly to the demographic in this group who I’m sure over 95% of people in here are earning 6 figures. Key word: TRY. I understand it’s not for everyone but to have never even attempted seeking therapy is a injustice to yourself and the people around you.
