Since everyone is talking about it. Which positions are more in danger? (More likely to be laid off)

Blind tax TC 180k

Edit:
Didn’t know I can’t edit poll after posted it. I may have missed some job family such as design. Please comment to the post with any additional occupations that I unintentionally ignored

    Engineers are usually one of the last groups to be laid off. If an engineer is laid off its possible they were close to getting a PIP

      Yeah, huge difference between UI and front end design, and UX and Product design.

      But I do see a trend both ways... My product design counterparts are learning more code and tech, and my engineers and becoming more Product and UX aware.

      I'd have to agree that an org could survive without design longer than they could engineering... But what a crappy world that would be to live in. 🤣

    The most common thing that happens in recession is that the companies get more senior (overqualified) people for the jobs they post (many taking a pay cut) This means fresh grads get hit the worst.

    Simple supply demand economics.
