It seems like the amount of layoffs in engineering (so far) have been highly disproportionate.
I.E. - you have companies that are 70% product-engineering by employees doing a 10% cut - and only 10% of the cut is coming from product-engineering.
If it was proportionate - you'd see 70% of laid off employees being product-engineering - instead of 90% coming from recruiting, sales, and marketing - which only makes up like 20% of the company in the first place...
The rest of the economy seems to be doing fine. If recruiters and marketers and salespeople are going from "tech companies" to other companies and keeping similar wages - that doesn't at all seem doom-worthy.
