How are you all preparing for recession?

I've been sensing some uncertainty at my workplace, and it's making me think about preparing for the possibility of layoffs. 1. How does one manage uncertainty before a layoff, and what should be the mindset? 2. What practical steps do you take financially ? Any insights on budgeting? 3. In a job transition, how do you proactively develop skills while managing work I would like to hear your thoughts and advice on how to be well-prepared mentally, financially, and skill-wise for possiblity of layoffs

Have been hunting for a job for a while. Non tech background and completed mba in 2022. Open to working in sales, marketing and no industry preference as such! I keep hearing news that some companies are hiring in bulk and some have hiring freeze. So is this the time to upskill into one of the trendy things or keep looking for a job ? Advise, experiences and informs about companies hiring is most welcome!

I am an undergrad student in the 4th year of Computer science and engineering degree, I'm a bit worried about the current scenario where jobs are getting scarce. I would like some suggestions on what type of skills I should learn to keep up with the demands and what type of roles or companies I should aim for. And any other suggestions for getting an internship are welcome.

Hello Folks! I'm a newbie on this platform, yet trying to put my insights as much as possible. Here to ask people out there who work in IT sector about how is the market going so far and when will this recession get down? To the on-campus and off-campus placed students, how did you manage to get placed even during the recession. Although the placements at our college is still on but only for Non-IT branches. I think the only people who are happy about the recession would be Non-IT people who have less competition and are getting placed at the core companies.

Am currently in a circuital branch of a nit (graduating in 2025) preparing for tech jobs , not one of those brilliant minds , okayish on leetcode trying to cover major dsa topics and important questions. But everyday I keep hearing about layoffs, AI, recession, cost cutting etc Should I do something different, should I keep preparing for tech jobs or I should shift to core jobs or GATE, really confused !!

Copied from reddit. What do you guys think?

With big corporate giants like Google, Apple, Bain, Tesla, Amazon etc. laying off staff in the name of cost reduction, automation&innovation and restructuring while at the same time tech companies like Accenture not awarding any yearly hikes to professionals for 2 consecutive years now, where do you see the IT/Tech/Consulting industry heading towards in next couple years down the line? By when is the market expected to revive? Which companies are still committed to ensuring job security along with high pay standards or is that a thing of the past? Please enlighten me😊

Starting this thread on some possible ways to recession proof your career Here's my PoV 1. Get education from a tier 1 college in India or abroad- You'll get good network or can go back to teaching in case the industry goes south 2. Pick a domain that is always in demand - Like healthcare or Finance 3. Build a strong network that does the job searching for you Do comment on what tour thoughts are !
