Im so scared to get a layoff. I have no college experience but have been at my job for 7 years + 5 years at my prior tech job. and now I get to do consulting and coding I love my job. We’re also a new team (specific for API projects) and if we can’t prove our worth quickly I see layoffs in my future. I have no idea what I’ll do if that happens.

I wish you the best of luck with finding something. It’s even harder with some of these big companies dropping work from home. My current job is 100% remote

Keep a healthy emergency fund to soften any transition you might go through.

I wish I could. In a situation where I’m basically paying for 2 houses on top of my family.
