Brave new world man. I am lucky I am where I am, but I am wondering how far away from the axe I currently stand. They need me now.. because we are in the midst of high stakes project, but later..
- IncreasePosts 2y agoBetter make sure that project doesn't ship on time
- A4ET8a8uTh0 2y agoHah, this project is shipping.. come hell or high water, or bugs, or nothing working. It is shipping irregardless.
- CoastalCoder 2y agoGood time to secure another job?
- A4ET8a8uTh0 2y agoI have been trying for a while and I will admit I am a little demoralized. I am actually debating bailing on what I am doing now and try something else. Even working for myself starts looking like an option ( although much more scary ).
- CoastalCoder 2y agoIf it's any encouragement, I just started a job after 14 months of unemployment. I say this because it may be anecdotal evidence of a gradually improving market for job seekers. And a reminder that 12 months of no offers doesn't mean they'll never come. Good luck!
- balls187 2y agoHow old are you?
- A4ET8a8uTh0 2y agoOld:D Maybe too old for tech. Naturally, that only contributes to the wondering.
- balls187 2y agoSame. Maybe not too old for tech, but in my 40's wondering if I can do this until I reach the age when I can withdraw from my retirement accounts without paying a tax penalty.
- codr7 2y agoFeel that, tech leading a high risk startup atm; better to get used to the feeling, it's all temporary and no one really gives a shit about you.
- TranquilMarmot 2y agoI got laid off for the first time in my life last year and spent three months doing an absolutely grueling job search. I got extremely lucky and found work eventually, but now I have that fear implanted in my brain that there's no way to know how long it will last. Now I save as much money as I possibly can so that next time it happens, I have a comfortable amount of time to find a job.
