Hope you will find something also!

Went through 3 waves of company firing staff in last 2 years. I was the lucky one, but around 60 - 70% of my colleagues were let off. It was certainly very stressful (also with company keeping us in the dark about what is happening and when, delaying it almost a whole year etc.). It makes you think at least about ways you can go, paths you can choose in case something happens or when it happens, that can be helpful. Overall IT can be very stressful in a lot of ways, take your time and follow the path you chose, good luck!
