Ask HN: What's a "normal" amount of Layoffs to occur in one's career?
I've been laid off 3 times in the last two years, with the most recent just occurring recently. I've worked in tech for a little over 10 years now.
The frequency and absurd reasoning for these layoffs is really getting old, and I'm sitting here wondering if I should just expect this every 6 months to 2 years working in this industry, and if so if I should switch career paths altogether.
To be clear, I know I'm decent at my job. I can measure the impact I had, and see the customers we made happy, the usage our products created, and the monetary value it created for my former employers.
This is more asking if the frequency of layoffs I've experienced is normal, or something unique to me right now
