Same old story. My company made pretty great profits and we lowered cloud costs significantly, but still laid off a ton of software engineers because although company made record profits, C Level management and the investors stated they didn’t meet goals needed for new clients and current contract renewal’s. So they are letting some people go to anticipate any financial hardships that may come this 2025 year. My mentor, the software architect who got me this job was let go. His duties were divided to me and 3 other engineers. I already know our workload is going to be too much for us as we’re way to busy at it is. We aren’t getting extra comp for this either. I’m a software infrastructure engineer for a mid level company. Essentially an SRE but different title. I’m very angry about this because no one on the business side of the house had any layoffs. No one in management, finance, sales, HR, marketing, etc. Just the software and systems engineers. I’m mentally checked out and a bit depressed. I have no desire to work here anymore nor do my fellow colleagues. We’re all looking for employment elsewhere. Knowing it’s a new year and companies have the budget to hire folks, I just want to get an idea of how the market is from fellow infrastructure guys here? How are employers with remote roles for mid to senior level experience?
