Is there any data on the % of layoffs on actual technical folk (SWEs, etc...) vs non-technical staff (recruiters, etc...)? That's one thing I wonder, as a SWE.

Is there any data on the % of layoffs on actual technical folk (SWEs, etc...) vs non-technical staff (recruiters, etc...)? That's one thing I wonder, as a SWE. Is the market actually now flooded with SWEs, or was the actual number of laid of SWEs a much lower percentage of the total people laid off?
- injb 4y agoNo idea what the answer to this is, but for the sake of one data point: my employer let 25 (out of 150) people go, of which 2 were SWEs, and a few more were from the data science team. Beyond that, it was product designers/managers, cx, recruiters etc.
- eurticket 4y agoIt makes me wonder too, after the diversity/inclusion role related post[0] saying their departments were basically stripped, it seems like those were a big part of the layoffs of each big tech company.
