it was on social media, talking about how hard it is to get a job in the tech space especially when you're laid off.
It's not hard to get a job in tech, especially when you have working experience in Amazon. Any company will be happy to accept any ex-Ammeon employee.
You are right except for the fact that other companies might not feel comfortable employing such persons on the ground of the range of salary they have been earning in a company like Amazon unless there is a negotiation of their pay to suit the new company.
How do you ensure job security in a hard economic situation like this?
You have to run your business. I recommend business in the food industry and also hairstyling. Doesn't matter what we invent, we want to eat delicious foods. Small supermarkets, and small restaurants, are very profitable businesses locally.
I also recommend hair salons. At the moment there isn't any AI that can cut your hair. Being a barber or having a hair salon business is a safe bet in 21st century to my min.
Food is one area that have huge market and very easy to start. Anyone can easily start a farm or something related to food and grow rapidly over a couple of years. So while job will be lost in some sectors, opportunities abound in other sectors such as have been mentioned. My country is still a net importer of food despite our vast arable lands, so investment in agriculture is one of the best anyone could think of. So, we could collaborate and make some cool money in that area.
