With a recession looming, how concerned should I be with corporate layoffs. Accepted a job with a big4 and don’t start till mid summer.

Unfortunately, I don't think any of us will be completely safe if the recession does play out. Nothing we can really do about that, so why worry or stress over it now? At least you have a job lined up. I'd focus on that for now and cross that bridge if and when you get to it.

What's your current role?

Unless you're leaving a company with which you have tenure to go to the Big4, I wouldn't worry about it. Nothing we can do.

Agreed. We can't control it. When layoffs happen, they just happen. No use stressing over it

If the recession does play out, we should all be concerned with layoffs because practically no one is safe. There's really nothing stopping companies to do what they need to do to save the company

I am seeking new employment, I was recently laid off due to lack of work. I would very much appreciate any leads. I have a Bs in Construction Management and over 15 years experience with Revit and AutoCAD and 7 years of plumbing design. I have solid references and impeccable work ethic. I truly enjoy what I do. Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

I work on a consulting team at a large software company. I’m a job hopper, around 2 years each at my first and second jobs and a little over a year at this job. I recently found out they’re shutting my team down. We’re not fired, but they’re transferring us to the core implementation team, which has a horrible reputation for malignancy, overworking, and isn’t at all what I was hired to do. How hard is it going to be to for me to find a new job? Should I just stay and try things out? What next?
