My humble suggestion - Don’t worry about something which you can’t control. I can sense the anxiety and everyone of us are going thru it at different levels. Maintain good optics, keep communicating with leadership on the impact (if possible $ value) of your team. Upskilling will definitely help if it happens. Maintaining financial cushion for the rainy day.

You can’t foolproof yourself from a layoff. No one can. Because they aren’t based on performance or skills issues, rather due to cost-cutting or investors pressure. Best one can do is have a good amount of savings, keep EMI as low or none at all, live within your means, stay updated in interviews/industry knowledge and leave all rest to god and destiny 🙌🏻

You’re head of data science with 17 years experience when entire world is going crazy over AI. You should be the last person to worry about layoff or opportunities
