Ask HN: How to survive or preserve amid upcoming recession
As software professional, or in general, can someone give ideas or any know-how, either from past or any knowledge on subject.
Basically I think living frugal lifestyle will help cut down living expenses. But aside from that advice, is there anything that you can guide upon?
Thank you
- brudgers 4y agoAs software professional Recessions are an excuse to rethink identity. I mean, was your dream growing up to be a "software professional" when you were eight? So buy a horse and a ten gallon hat and cowpoke if that's what you really want. Or not. Good luck.
- yuppie_scum 4y agoIf you get laid off, get another job. There’s still a labor shortage. We might just not be paying 200k to someone who can barely write a Python script anymore. So yes you might have to trade the Mercedes for a Honda or something.
