Kinda? I feel like I’ve worked my ass off. So I’d be more indignant than anything else.

Mad.

I'd be relieved, to be honest. Gearing up for a shift, saves me the trouble of quitting.

Currently I work for a mid-sized InsureTech that’s had 2 rounds of layoffs in the past 6 months. Salary is 100k, with no defined bonus. I have close to 4 years of PO experience. I am debating whether I want to leave since my boss is very chill and I have amazing WLB. Benefits are eh. 15 PTO days and healthcare premiums are okay. Should I jump ship? What could I be making at a bigger company? What types of companies are most stable right now?

Anyone else notice a trend with the mass amounts of layoffs in tech? Why are all their resumes so jumpy? Not like 2-5 years jumpy, like few months at a time jumpy? But still can land a position with similar tech giants? IMO, lots of these people get hired by their rich friends, stay a few months before someone realized they aren’t qualified and were just a recommendation from a current employee. Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%

Just got dinged from my dream role at McK and feeling pretty down. I got laid off soon after my wedding in September (low utilization and not a ton of work coming in for Q4) and am having a tough time
