Is Boeing layoff proof?
They're set to make planes for the next decade or so. Wars only make boeing more money and recessions don't stop planes from flying. Yea pay is not great but it's stable, reliable, great wlb, and you CAN make a career out of it. Which sometimes you can't put a price on. TC: nuts #boeing
Is Amazon layoff proof? They supply most of the internet with AWS. Recessions don’t stop the internet from running.
Is unemployment office layoff proof? If people are getting laid off they need more help helping the unemployed
Or the 737 MAX crashes.
Trust me you’ll see your skills atrophy so bad and be utterly vulnerable to layoffs. You’ll become an expert in some utterly incomprehensible integration, like IBM / Oracle / Sharepoint. You’ll be in 4 hours of meetings a day reciting status updates on that integration and blocked on progress because of something or other everyday.

Defense in general is pretty safe. It's easy to job hop within that sector, which you should use to attach yourself to fresh, high impact contracts. Layoffs are fairly predictable since it should coincide with funding drying up.
Just go to the government at that point. The tc is almost the same and the benefits are better.
Was at Boeing for decade. Saw several layoffs. I agree with comment about working directly for GOv if you want more stability with wlb
I wasn’t at Boeing at the time but I do remember hearing that they laid off or furloughed technicians in the manufacturing line at the height of the pandemic in 2020 Not sure if software engineers were affected by any of those cuts
My great uncle got laid off by Boeing in 1971
...in 1971.
My mom got laid off Boeing twice. 1998, 2013.
