"every engineer should have 6+ months of savings. "
I did. Even stretched it out to 9 months (getting a freelance gig out of nowhere helped). But it's been 13 months with no full time work.
>Market isn't great but our salaries can help build those savings easy.
It did not. Not everyone's making 300k at Google.
>If I had more time, I would love to understand the fss market better and also what impact ai is having there.
nothing short term, but the usual suspects come about as usual. Trendsetting from Twitter, ZIRP, tax code changes affecting how to amortize tech salaries, an anticipation of a downturn in the evonomy, and AI speculation (not really affecting tech, but other areas).
Those are each worth their own post, but this is againa topic talked about a lot . Since this has happened a lot.
And yes, this wasn't a layoff of necessity. That's the "venomous" part about it. Why Wouldn't I be mad at blatant greed?
