So I've worked in IT for around 18 years now and in that time I've worked for 2 gaming companies, I started my most recent a year ago, but I'm wondering if I should just jump ship for the tech industry again, I'm now waiting for the layoffs in our business unit. I'm an immigrant living on a work permit and losing my job will mean losing the life I've made for myself over the last 4 years, and that terrifies me.

I used to love the company I work for but now I'm wondering if it's worth it anymore.

The tech industry is not doing much better. But in general, if you can find a job in tech vs. games, you'll make more money, have more stability, and be treated better.

I wonder if mid sized companies isn't the way to go.
