  In the current job market where an average software engineer stays just 2 years at a single company, where remote work and freelancing lead to engineers having 2 or 3 full-time positions at the same time, and companies are firing thousands of software engineers with little to no notice, it’s easy to enter the me against the world mentality. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• eBay is laying off 9 percent of its workforce

  It's not as bad as last year, but if you look at the layoff.fyi graph that goes back further (https://layoffs.fyi/#tabs_desc_471_2 ), I remember feeling that around September of last year that the huge amount of layoffs from late 22/early 23 had stabilized: a lot of my dev colleagues on LinkedIn that were previously laid off had found new jobs (but non-IC-eng roles definitely didn't fare as well), and there were... - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

You can see a clear sign of the worst being over and I would expect 2024 to start a return to normalcy again, maybe people will even start hiring again 2022 was not a good time to be entering the industry, but I think for people with 5+ years experience it was not so... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• So is the game bad? Is the end coming? What do I do? (new player)

  This year is a little worse because the expansion seems delayed and Bungie had recent layoffs. The latter is blow out of proportion, as nearly 250k people have been laid off in tech companies in 2023, so this is not a Bungie thing, this is an industry thing and response to declining markets. The delay sucks, but I would MUCH rather they release a polished expansion then a half-baked mess. There are plenty of other... Source: 6 months ago

• Tech layoffs exceed 240k so far in 2023, 50% more than 2022
