Today, I reflected on the tough lessons learned from my time in Big Tech after being laid off recently. It’s been eye-opening to see how no one is truly safe in this industry, regardless of their position or experience. Watching others share their experiences during layoffs has been informative, yet it also feels a bit disheartening. Many stories of recovery seem to lack inspiration, making it hard to stay optimistic about the future. I’ve noticed a trend where everyone seems to want to pivot into content creation, which raises questions about the necessity of traditional roles like documentation assistants, especially with the rise of AI. The landscape is shifting rapidly, and I find myself contemplating what my next steps should be in this evolving job market.
