the tech LAYOFFS💀 from 2023 to 2026 hit some roles way harder than others:

▫️ Software Engineers: 35 to 45% of all cuts

▫️ Frontend Engineers: 15 to 20%

▫️ QA / Test Engineers: 10 to 15%

▫️ Data / ML Engineers: 5 to 10%

▫️ Security Engineers: 2 to 5%

The pattern is obvious👇

The closer your role is to writing code AI can generate, the harder you got hit. The closer to infrastructure and security, the safer you stayed
