Right now USA has not seen the peak IT layoffs yet...it just started. Ask this question again in April 2023. I pity a lot of those Twitter staffs that survived the first cut but quit. They will find it difficult to find similar paying job for the next 6mths. When if one do secure a job, they will be on the first to let go chopping list when layoffs quota needed. Or getting substantial pay cut. I have been on HR for couple decades on a lot of firmwares probably across Fortune 5000 all the way to 10. This is by far the most spookies with at least 3-4 layoffs planned almost per quarter for 2023. Some middle management even discussing padding departments with expandable staffs to lessen the damage to core veteran staffs.
