Navigating the Job Market After Layoff from Meta as a Software Engineer

I was laid off from Meta recently, where I worked as a software engineer. It was a tough blow, especially seeing so many colleagues also losing their jobs. After the layoff, I took a different path and started working at a local butcher shop. It’s a significant change from tech, but I’m finding it rewarding in its own way. A friend from college shared a video on LinkedIn that got me thinking about the current job market. It seems like layoffs are becoming more common across various industries, not just tech. My brother, a talented software engineer, is also struggling to find a new position, which makes me worried about the future. I’ve been hearing from others in the insurance sector that they’re anticipating layoffs as well. It feels like the job market is tightening up everywhere, and I’m curious if others are experiencing the same thing.
