IDK how young you are but entering the professional workforce during an economic downturn fricking sucks.
I feel like I shouldn't be worried about getting canned on my first gig
Hopefully it works out for the better though, many the five months are an opportunity to pivot to a growing industry.

Thank you, I'm actually not that new on the field, I had just never been laid off. I do fricking hate tech tho. Not sure I can pivot in this short time, sadly.
I'm working on a plan to get out of it, but I think that's taking a backseat until I find a new job
