Reply to comment by longhairedcountryboy in What High Tech and Media Layoffs Say About the Economy by PleaseThinkFirst

I am wondering the same thing... I'm looking to learn to code now, and change careers in 6 months or so. I want to be out of field service by the end of the year. Gonna be pissed if I learn python, AWS, Java, Bash & kubernetes and there are no jobs for me.

This tech layoffs don't seem to be saying exactly the fields or ppl that are losing their jobs, and it doesn't feel like any large group of ppl are experiencing issues enough to complain, atleast not yet.

Don't panic, there is still a huge shortage of tech workers. Those big companies just hired far too many people (because free money) and had no real work for them. Now that interest rates are rising they have to cut the costs.

Nobody has been laid off at my company. We would hire somebody next week who has the skills to do the work. I think it is scare tactics as much as anything. Big Companies want people scared for their jobs.
