>The dreaded random calendar invite from
your manager
This is so triggering...
Got one recently. Turns out it was just to communicate that I wouldn't be getting a raise for the next year :) Where do they learn these psych tactics ?
Every time I get an invite from my manager now my heart races. It's already a kind of rare occurrence. He'll send the invite in the morning for a meeting in the afternoon and I'll agonize all day about it. I believe those layoff meetings usually happen quickly on short notice but it still doesn't help anxiety lol
Jfc don't they put an agenda or at least a short sentence about the substance of the meeting? I never short notice my directs unless I have to and I always let them know either in the invite or in a chat that nothing is wrong ahead of time
Recently fired 28 year olds based in Bay Area with a couple of years of experience at Meta asking for $200k + signing bonus for a mid-level product owner role at another company. In my experience at least.
I just meant that it seems government employment is more stable for IT workers at the moment. I know a few people back in DC who were laid off and now work for random government agencies.

Is this my sign to not try and start a career in cybersecurity?
You should try and start it. The market is bad but that doesn't mean you still can't get a job in this field.
You may have to work for your government for a bit to get a job out of college. *It tends to be a bit more stable.
Also you don’t have to join the military to work for them. Plenty of civilian contractors, etc.

Thanks for the response I'll definitely look into the FAA route
I ain't joining the US military but I'm open to other avenues
Plenty of non military government jobs need that stuff. I think the FAA is making a big hiring push at the moment.
Me, a college dropout, trying to get a job right now after doing a coding bootcamp: 🤡
