Im so scared to get a layoff. I have no college experience but have been at my job for 7 years + 5 years at my prior tech job. and now I get to do consulting and coding I love my job. We’re also a new team (specific for API projects) and if we can’t prove our worth quickly I see layoffs in my future. I have no idea what I’ll do if that happens.
I wish you the best of luck with finding something. It’s even harder with some of these big companies dropping work from home. My current job is 100% remote
Best of luck to you too. I also just had my first child and moved across the country. Timing could not have been worse. I haven’t been to an office since the day they sent us home for “2 weeks” while covid calms down. I’ve started applying to local jobs, willing to give up remote work. Never thought I’d be willing to give that up.
Keep a healthy emergency fund to soften any transition you might go through.
I wish I could. In a situation where I’m basically paying for 2 houses on top of my family.
