I doubt it. Things are changing extremely rapidly with AI. My advice is to prepare to live in a van for quite some time or move in with family. This is dire.

@@bugra320 you guys just don't understand economics.
IT is life long "looking for a job"
@@IrkyMan thank you for your comment. youre right, always looking for a job even when having a job
And that's why I am with a lot of fear but determination creating my SAAS. because I am fed up with those laid off. Next time I will be the one doing the lay off Mouahhahaha... Because.. Enough. Come on. I am 39yr. I am not seeing myself doing that at 60 being laid off again.
@@TheBlackManMythLegend let us all grow together
@@TheBlackManMythLegendlayoffs happen when a company wants to produce fast which often results in lower quality projects and work life for employees. This practice can be easily avoided if companies didn’t treat employees like fuel to a fast train.
Perhaps since youve been laid off and know how it is to be in that position you can be one of the few that understand and find a way to balance productivity and quality
That's why I got out in 2008 before I got too old.
Sorry to hear bro. I got laid off too, software Eng for 8 years… been job hunting for 3 months… I’m the sole income for wife and kid. It’s rough. Best of luck
thank you for your comment. i feel you on that. we need to keep our heads up during these times.
Be careful with divorce attorney when men lose money women 9 out of 10 will leave.
@@letphil considering speed running and getting ServiceNow SA and Dev certs just to open up my opportunities more. It’s a big market and maybe having software Eng experience will help to stand out… dunno just spitballing. Would love to hear your thoughts.
@@BarronBarca thank you for the advicr

@@argentorangeok6224 thank you for your comment and advice
Agreeed!
This kids, is how you succeed. No long preamble, no quick guides on who or what to follow. Just fail, and succeed, and fail, and succeed again. I hope things work out for you and your family and keep on keepin on.
thank you for your comment. i appreciate the kind words
Hang in there Phillip! one door closes and another door will open. I was laid off from accounting 2 times from the same company due to relocation; another laid off due to reduction in government contract. With connection and a bit of reinventing myself, I am currently working full time again. With your background, you will get back on your feet again.
@@annn8389 thank you for your comment and words of encouragement. things are starting to look up already
This too shall pass. Stay strong.
Thank you
I’ve been laid off, defense industry 10 years ago, that day I slept 14 hours, the stone was off my back. Now I’m a teacher, can’t believe they pay me for something I enjoy this much.
thank you for your comment. if you find something you enjoy doing you never work a day in your life.
Changing career at 29, bagging 6-7 years of experience, life is so random, and unplanned, yet me starting as a Junior .Net developer, you've opened my eyes to be prepared for such situation, subscribed to you channel, stay strong brother.
i really appreciate you. thank you. Life is random but let us make the most of it.
And me starting at 35yo
My last tech job put me on blood pressure meds. Losing your fitness and health over a job isn’t worth it. That’s why they lay you off whenever they deem you to no longer be useful. Take this as a lesson to never neglect yourself in the name of a paycheck. Our lives remain when companies discard us, so we can’t give it up for them.
thank you for your comment. You are right. our health is the most important. Without it, we can't work anways.
@@letphilthis is more true than most people can even imagine. If your health goes, you are mega screwed: can’t work, can’t enjoy life, can’t even travel. And medical bills ain’t cheap.
Hard pass on companies that expect you to sacrifice all that for them.
Love your energy man. Sending positive vibes your way brother, hang in there! You got this!
thank you
Sorry to hear bro, got laid off myself too. 10 years at one company. Don’t blame yourself, the leaders are the ones responsible for f*cking about with the finances putting these companies in these precarious situation!!!
im sorry that you got laid off. thank you for your kind words. i think putting all that time and for it to just be over is the tough part
@@letphilI have a picture of a ghost on a tv.

Sending you lots of love my friend. I hope you are able to make it through this tough time.
thank you. times are tough but will make it
I just got laid off last week, it's not you it's them. You got this man
It doesn't matter whose fault. You have to keep paying the bills
thank you for your comment. i will keep trying on my side as hard as i can
paying the bills and keeping your family safe is the most important
You are the voice of a lot of us bro. Take care and thank you for sharing your story. Looking forward to hearing more about your journey that so many of us are in as well.
thank you for listening. i really appreciate that
I feel for you. It's so hard hitting when it happens and hard not to feel low about it. But stay strong and keep making positive steps. Use it as way for newer and better opportunities. CZcams channel does sound like a great idea.
@@bluebrakes thank you for your comment. youtube community has been showing so much support
Wow, sounds almost like I started, except 6 years later. I started in IT at 35, now I'm 40. 2 yrs as tester, 3 as dev. Got a job in a small company, maybe a bit under-valued salary compared to market averages, but with many layoffs all around and much fewer job offers, gotta appreciate what I have. All the best to you in your job search!
thank you for your insight. I would definitely like to hear more of your story
Lower salary was always a godsend for me because they didn't want to fire me..they wanted to RETAIN me. I held he power...so i got to work half remote decades before it was common or I got to come in stoned or smoke weed out the back.
From what I've seen its good to work at smaller companies as there is very little chance of them laying you off versus the bigger ones where layoffs are like a regular Monday.
This industry pays a lot but the layoff is massive too.
@@pomp4401 thank you for your comment. it pays and lay offs just take away the current job but the skill is always there
Love your attitude brother! you'll be ok. I've been out of work for a while, and it is tough, but you'll be ok! You have a great positive attitude and energy!
@@tlo0542 thank you for your comment and kind words
Keep your head up man, went through the same thing not too long ago. You'll get another job!
You’re a hero Phillip. I myself have started to learn coding(java) DSA, and I am 34. I know its late, but when I imagine myself 5 years down the line, I can see myself as a good Developer who still has plenty of years in career.
@@beautyinsideout6422 thank you for your comment. this is so true. the internet and tech is infinite. if you dont know coding. you might not be able to work at all in the future.
love your energy man. Good luck to you and Ill wait for your videos
Will be posting more frequently, thank you
Its rough out there in the tech industry. I can sympathize with you and your family situation. Keep at it, its rough now but you will look back on this moment as a stepping stone to something better. Best of luck to you!
thank you for your comment. i am just trying with my best foot forward. i am hoping for something better to come. please look out for more content.
Best of luck to you man! I've been there. Try to focus on the things you value in life, that you look forward to. Frame that in your mind to motivate you to keep trying for a job. We all have to do what's necessary to survive and get what we want out of life. Your health is also incredibly important, the foundation of yourself and all your successes. I overlooked this for so long. Sayings like "You are what you eat" and "Movement is medicine" are 1000% true! Going keto, occasional fasts, and exercising daily just 20-30 minutes a day did wonders for myself, in all aspects of my life. Don't overlook this like I did!
Truly wish you the best sorry not trying to preach, just know how hard it can be being in your position and being honest about what got me over a difficult part of my life.
thank you for your comment. your words mean a lot. i will take. your advice.
That sucks man. Get some rest and spend some time with your family and loved ones. I hope you get through this tough times. I am also struggling as a fresh graduate BSIT to get a web developer job right now and when I stumbled on your video I thought you needed some heads up. Your video made me feel that I'm not alone in the journey as a developer. There were ups and downs.
thank you for your kind words and sharing your story. We can get through this together.
Sorry to hear this. I hope you’ll be fine. 😢
thank you for your comment. I will be fine.
Breathe. Keep moving forward. We are always stronger than we think and more resilient too! Sending best wishes to you and your family!
thank you for your comment. I am gonna do what I can do, move forward and progress.
I got fired two days ago, went into a deep depression but realized the day after it’s their loss, I went above and beyond for my job and if they don’t appreciate that another company will. Keep your head up my brother you aren’t in this alone. 💪
the beta mindet . you got fired for a reason . stop trying
@@gamesthatmatter9374 the fact you have over a thousand videos with no views goes to show how shit your channel is ahahahahaha stop trying. 😂
thank you for your comment. we are in this together.
f... going above and beyond UNLESS you are working on YOUR OWN BUSINESS, not for someone else
Same here. 9 years lead software developer. I was even promoted last year for a good job. Had a lot of projects lined up in the coming months and bam. One random Wednesday was told my role along with many others was being eliminated.
Company has been looking like crap for quite some time. It's a huge global fin tech company. They've been promoting lots of women into managerial positions and directors of tech teams when their only past experiences have been as project managers. Zero tech skills. This was a red flag but never thought they'd be stupid enough to actually lay off young passionate developers like us. No doubt they couldn't afford me. I'm also in my early 30s.
The market looks like crap also. Might have better luck to start our own business at this point.
i know. starting something seems like the way to go
I would love to be a part of it, if you're going to start a business 😢
Guess women dont know how to code? Is that what you meant when you mentioned women being moved up
😭hang in there man, I lost mine a year ago being 28 with mere a few years experience and not at senior position at all... but I haven't actually looked for a job after that laid off... and I'm still remained jobless because of so many things popped up in life all of sudden taking all my time and derailing my plan of getting back into the workplace... It's been a year and more now, I'm really worried this gap will make me look really back when start to look for one... and honestly I feel like I need some refresh course to get back into the whole coding mind except the other day I just effortlessly picked up some coding question and I felt so happy working on it 😭 really miss coding... and stumbled on your video for some reason, it just got me thinking of all these... in any case, I hope you are figuring out something now, Phill, best of luck!!!
thank you for your comment. coding should be like riding a bike. if the fundamentals are there you can learn anything. i am trying my best
@@letphil 💪💪🙏🙏
i love the positive vibes given in this community. And yes this shall pass. I have also been retrenched before and I changed careers much later than you.
thank you for your comment. this community is definitely helping me keep going
Dude, you are so authentic. I wish the best for you and you sound like a major asset to any company.
thank you for your comment. the mind words mean a lot
Be kind to yourself! Lay offs are really rough for anyone... and remember that what happened is not your fault.
Thank you for sharing this.
thank you for your kind words
Also going through this -- love your mentality. You GOT THIS!
Thank you, will get through this
Hope for your success, we’re all feeling this. But we got it! Keep on keeping on and your skills will take you far!
thank you for your comment. i will keep moving forward.
Stay strong mate and keep moving forward. Learn that stack you've been wanting to or hone the skills you already possess. I'm just a junior dev but I can imagine your pain👍
thank you for your comment. i am keeping strong and happy to have the skills necessary to move forward. things are already starting to look up
Good luck brother! it's all about keeping yourself busy the rest will just follow
@@redwan_lmati thank you for your comment. just trying to keep myself busy and productive
life is all about ups and downs. a good friend of mine just got laid off a couple months ago (he was having issues with his boss) he was devastated but very recently got a new job, and he prospers there.
keep on going and do keep us updated with new videos!
thank you, will do
It's okay. You will come out of this BETTER!
It's all part of the process in tech. Layoffs and firings can happen to you even if you have done everything right. like life in general.
Good luck out there! 🎉
thank you for your comment. Humans are resilient and people want to help each other.
Keep your held high... It sucks; it happened to me as well in 2002; after the Y2K, non-event... You will be a better man for it! Great attitude and lots of positivity...
thank you for your kind words. The Y2K, non-event of 99 turning into 00 was the fear i remember. haha.
Im in the same boat so I know how you feel right now... Following your channel to support!
thank you for your support
All the health to you and your family. I was fired too after working as a senior for around 5 years (8 yeas in total as a dev) and was forced to return to my old job (in the marine industry, it's tough but at least got the connections and fills my fridge). I will continue to sharpen my skills and chase another dev job, don't quit my friend.
thank you for your comment. Why not get another IT job as a developer? I won't quit, that's for sure.
@@letphil Because the only jobs I've found obligate me to relocate to another city or even country, I only try to find remote work because of family reasons I can't move out.
@@jimmyking92 i agree. remote jobs is the only way it seems
Good luck dude! Take your time, improve each day and stay strong!
@@an0malia thank you for your comment and kind words. will keep staying strong
I'm so sorry to hear that Phillip but I'm sure you'll get a better job soon. I was laid off after 13 years, so I can relate to what you are going through. Now it is time to get back in shape and reconsider what you want to do from now on. Keep it up and I wish you the best! I hope to hear from you soon to let us know that you found a new job.
@@vindasad thank you for your comment. I will find a new job soon.
I was a developer for 5 years after graduating from university. Something told my brain and myself by my mid to late 20s that this was a horrible occupation. Gave me serious depression and other mental health problems.
I haven't written code for just over 30 years now. Which is why I am still here, as a free man, rather than being 6 feet under or living in a secure mental institution.
The ICT industry is definitely not for many many people.
thank you for your comment. it sounds like it wasn't right for you but it could also be very rewarding for others.
I think being a programmer is a pretty thankless job these days. It used to be a very professional position. Now, it's like working in a factory with the agile nonsense.
You seem like the most down-to-earth senior developer ever with some positivity despite busting your ass off just to get laid off. Hang in there man, I subscribed because we need more of these kinds of down-to-earth videos that people can relate to in these tough times! Looking forward to more videos.
thank you
So sorry to hear about it friend. I also got laid off, but from the Telecom field. I learned some code (got my certification in software development, full stack) and learning a couple of other languages to learn. Hopefully get to see and learning lessons from your channel. Best of luck!
thank you for your comment. im sorry to hear about your loss. please stick around and hope you can gain some value.
Good luck,everything happening in life is good.the good experiences give us joy and the bad ones give us wisdom
thank you for your comment. gotta take the good with the bad
From the darkness to The Light ❤ Be Brave! Like you have been so far! ❤ I am sure everything will be okay! ❤

@@vincentgraffeo9030 thank you for your comment and kind words
It’s not just tech. I’m in banking and they are constantly cutting costs and laying off workers every year according to the flavour of the year. The only ‘consolation’ I have now is telling myself I’m not the only one. I took some time off to get myself back in shape mentally and physically again by joining a gym, seeking help from a hypnotherapist, read and listen to podcasts. It’s a lonely journey. You just have to take one day and one step at a time.
thank you for your comment. we are in this together.
The Universe just sent you "an amazing opportunity to change." What you do next, is on you.
thank you for your comment. that is so correct. just gotta keep moving forward
@@letphil Read, or listen (Audible) to a book called Mind Magic. He is a neurosurgeon. He says we manifest our life every minute of every day. Don't have a goal of "a job." Have a goal of adding value to the universe- big difference. Have an abundance mindset. Doing KETO and working out could help too. That is what I do. I won't wish you luck because we make our own. The universe does not care about you- in a good way or a bad way. It reacts based on what you do. Take success- do it for yourself and your family.
If you truly excel, the right opportunity will find you. Stay positive and trust in your abilities during this challenging time.
thank you for your comment and kind words
Good luck and godspeed dude. Recently let go myself; these days it's a lot of technical interview grinding before I get back out there. I wish you and your family all the best. We're gonna make it.
@@zinda__bad i agree. people are resilient. just gotta have forward progress
I graduated from top school, dedicated my life to Kodak, got laid off after 10 years a IT. Moved down to Florida, become a construction developer, the right decision I ever got
thank you for your comment. construction developer in actually constructing buildings?
Dude, you're a developer..you have NO worries. I was coding until 2015....I quit due to burnout...I even spent all my savings and went homeless for a summer to take a break. I was 45. I then got an apartment in sept. and built a business in about one year after and never looked back. We are SMARTER than 90% of the people out there...we can take ANYTHING and turn it into a profit-making system. You'll discover that eventually. I thought we were like everyone else..wer aren't. We know how to start projects, plan them out, follow the progress, guarge success through the data / profit returns. We are businessmen even if you don't know it yet. I have two projects on the go now..neither online..but both HEAVILY relying on my skills and brains.
thank you for your comment. the burnout is real. that is quite the story. please share if you have time.
did you take the jabs? You say you're smarter than most everyone and I'm wondering if you went for that. your truthful answer will help me properly frame your boasting.
@@user-hg6vd2iz7m I'm a retired senior software engineer and you're a twelve year old baboon with a cocunut on its head. You've answered your own question.

Good luck^^

Nice to have more honest people to dilute the hypocrisy on CZcams.
thank you for your comment. All i can be is honest as possible
CZcams is the best place for young men to become experts at being perpetual losers lol. I was offline for a week and coming back I couldn't stop laughing for days. Every video is negative, every channel is about the end of the world in some resepcts lol.

@@xandra12791 thank for your support. ill make it work somehow
Be self-employed is the best. I lost my job at 42. And work as self employed for more than 22 years!!
thank you for your comment. That is awesome. please share some tips on how you did it.
@@letphil I did it too. I just applied my IT skills to real world situations. I started with a large excel sheet, scraped all the relative data (manually) over a few days or weeks (ie suppliers, competition, resources, tools, laws, margins, markets, shipping, printint, etc). I'd then build a mock-website that clearly illustrated who my market/what my company's mission and service/products were. Then I'd work out a way to start it with just a few hundred or thousnad dollars by ensuring income from the get-go. I also targetted local market so I was not competiting with the world..ie if it was online business my buyers and marketing etc was just in one city. A good example not me...a kid in my city sells skateboard clothes..has just 50k subs..but they are mostly local people..he opened a store..drives his 50k locals to his real store. Drive a seriously expensive sports car now. He's rich as hell. Online CZcamsrs/TikToker--> Local niche Store.
Your blanket statement is wrong. You assume being self-employed means you have no boss...this is an illusion, a delusion too. For many, going indy is the best, for others not so much. I was indy for 35 of the past 45 years, and when it no longer gave me the tax benefits, and especially when health care inflated, I found a FTE position that, when taxes and healthcare and time off are factored in, it pays more! I have over 5 weeks of paid time off. You don't get paid time off being self employed. But to be sure, being self employed can work for some.
@@TheSilverGlow Self employed won't be retrenched. You will still earn some money when the economy slows down.
@@steventay5834, another blanket statement from you. There were millions of self -employed out of work at every downturn in US history. Many did well, but they are not everyone.
Good luck to you on your journey. I got laid off 2 weeks ago. I’m using the time to stay positive, learn AI tech stacks, build the resume and portfolio, hit the gym, and practice interviewing.
thank you for the comment. that is amazing you are bettering yourself. Health is something I am trying to prioritize as well
Best of luck to you, man. It's rough out there in the employment world

Your video just appeared on my feed. This is the start of your successful CZcams journey. In 4 years, you will look back and thank that company for laying you off.

Hey Phillip. You took the plunge at 29 that I should have a long time ago too. At 38, I stuck to what was the "safe" route and ended up with some damn city job. Thinking back I'd switch places with you. Congrats on the bravery, the family and starting this youtube. It takes a lot more courage to do what you did.
I appreciate that, and it isn't too late for you brother, are you interested in coding or anything in particular?
@@letphil Coding is an interest but more so developing mvp's real quick so I'm taking the no-code approach to building apps. So far that's it, idk if this will go into anything further. But I just wanted to develop some ideas I've always had wandering in my head. All while working a 9-5 completely unrelated to this
Hope I can provide some value to you through this channel!
i also got laid off from my company and that too when my probation was about to be finished, just because i had an argument with a Permanent employee who was the cousin of the COO.
thats very unfortunate

Stay strong brother! I know you can figure it out. Praying you can find a job right away and hope you can find a simple side hustle that brings you extra money to earn a passive income.
thank you. i am trying
Hang on there Phillip! You have a very sough after skill set and your ability to adapt is a gold trait! Continue to target the field you are passionate about and you WILL find another job. Make sure you have a company re-do your resume. Emphasize the projects you participated (but be brief on each one). Never mentions what you do not have BUT what you bring to the table. Update your LinkedIn profile. Btw, losing a job is NOT your fault but THEIR loss. PS: I was an IT hiring manager for 19 years. I’m no longer in the position but let me know if I can help with anything.
@@powerlink2000 thank you for your comment. this was loads of great advice. there are companies that re-do your resume?
