Afraid of lay off early in my career
23 y/o Software Engineer with 2 internships + 1 year of experience afraid of being laid off. Within this period I commuted to work from home and paid off all debt. I’m in a strong position now. As of recently I haven’t felt much security with my job. My team is basically disbanding and they’re trying to move me around internally. Not guaranteed I’ll actually get a team so I’m stuck with this limbo feeling now. Looking at the market right now I’m actually very worried. Fingers crossed everything will be fine.
I don’t know what to do. I guess I’m trying to form a plan as a precaution. As of right now my idea is I’d go back to school for my masters degree(not sure what yet) while I continue to apply for jobs and network. That’s about 2 years. That should be more than enough time to get a job. Then I’ll just use the job to pay for my tuition.
Is this a good idea? Anyone else been in a similar situation? Trying to stay positive.
