Motherfuckers always need software and have doomed startup ideas, I think I'll be set.

>>17659193
Is my job secure? No, nobodies is. Can I always find opportunity to create income/gain? Yes.

Jobs are too risky to be seen as safe nowadays, generally speaking. Even tech developers who have 500k road poopers willing to work for less than 80c on the dollar. Companies don't care if about you dude. It's all about net for most.

>>17659193
Yea, I work for Coca-Cola so they ain't going anywhere

>>17659193
I work in critical care medicine, so even if I quit I will probably be press-ganged into slaving in the corona mines until my PAPR helmet fills up with my own blood and drowns me. So pretty high job security really

I work at a helpdesk and really don't know. I pondered this question and I suppose the blue chip company I work for COULD cut us off majorly. But we get so many calls and probably save them a decent deal of money by getting people working I'm not so sure.

I work at a liqour store and am expecting an INCREASE in shifts in light of the pandemonium. I handle alot of cash tho and both of my housemates work in the medical field so I'll almost definitely die

Software engineer. I'll pretty much always have work. And if it gets hard, my family owns land out of the country. I'll go live there with my grandmother and find some remote position. Should be comfy.

>>17659193
Im a site manager for a huge construction company. My department mostly do infrastructure projects which lasts 1-2 years, and are filled up for the next 12 months at least.

Dont know how I’ll do after that

look at these software niggers cope.
Youll be the first to go during a recession.

>>17659193
As a teacher, I'm not sure I'll be at the school i'm teaching in the next 2 to 3 years. The school has been bleeding money for years, because they're more interested in muh fancy football stadium than educating students. I expect layoffs in the next couple years. The absolute state of American education.

I’m in Finance but mostly do corporate tax related stuff. Kind of hard to say. I can easily be culled but at the same time it would make sense for them to cut other people and have me take on those responsibilities since I’m lowest on the ladder and if shit really goes south there wouldn’t even be that much business anyway. Or, since I’m lowest on the ladder I could be first out the door. These are decisions that would be made a great distance away and we’re only just numbers.

dentist, im fine

Design, engineering and programming. The business I work for could go bust, but I have skills that are in high demand and have a contact at a meme company.

Comfy, I guess

I work in a gibs office, so I'm either first to go or the last. I'm thinking the latter because gibs are what stop people from rioting.

lol nigga your buggy ass software is headed to the trash the second VC money dries up like where the FUCK have you been the past 5-10 years? Do you even know why you are on /biz/??

I work in sales, I buy structured settlements. Nobody wants to give up guaranteed income in a recession. I’m so fucked. I have no skills. It’s over.

>>17659193
Equipment and machinery break down. I'll be there to fix it. If not, I can go back to fixing medical equipment.

Hospital monitoring systems. Im one of 5 people in my company who knows how to operate, bug test, and fix the software. Im fine.

>>17659193
My company is probably fucked but we have ~1 year of runway even if we have no money coming in so I think the hope is we can get through this regardless of how bad it gets. Of course if in a year we are in full global apocalypse mode it won’t really matter if you have job security or not. You will need real security and survival know-how.

>>17659590
cope harder

I quit my job 1 january. And now it's impossible to get a job. Fuck me.

>>17659193
i work as a attorney in debt recollection im probably getting more work from this

Buying up extra supply for what? The entire gsc is shutdown from the mines to the end consumer in my industry.

My gm wanted to build up stock for a rush of buy orders too but it seems more and more unlikely unless theres a big bounceback.

everybodies going to flock to the $5 pizzas aha

I collect rent checks, all my apartments are at the bottom end a very nice school district. During expansion i catch renters trying to move up into the district, during recession i catch recently downsizinging parents trying to stay in the district. Fairly recession proof, unless there was wicked deflation which would catch me in a debt trap.

This hilarious. Look at all the McDonalds workers seething that they were too retarded to get an engineering degree and make sweet sweet bank. What you brainlets dont realize is how modernized the world has become that most companies have some form of it that at the very least needs to be maintained if not improved on. If the Bloomberg Terminal is what composes a large part of the business revenue you best believe they’ll fire the entire marketing and HR department before they they think about firing the dudes keeping their income stream alive. This coupled with the fact we can do our entire job working at home and international workers cant communicate for the life of them puts software in probably one of the most comfiest jobs rn. Stop flipping burgers and start learning how to code. Also, hold the pickle you know I don’t like them on my Double QPs.

Kek, a pipe dream. You have no idea how many hundreds, thousands of micro-calculations we have to do on a daily basis. When a robot gets good enough to do my job, they're good enough to do anybody's job so we're all fucked anyway.

>>17659294
Sadly right with you anon. Unless you're one of the more senior members at the helpdesk it's entirely probable that they'll cut you simply because it seems like a lot of companies don't understand the value. When you get experienced enough you're able to resolve complicated issues fairly quickly as you get used to the specifics of the base of customers/employees you're serving. Managers and others that write your paycheck don't understand what you do if you work for a company that doesn't specialize in the industry, and so to better understand what you do they'll watch how you work, and believe that your job is simple, and therefore it doesn't have much value.

>>17660407

The whole fucking world operates on spaghetti code and even if there's no new business they at least need to maintain. So maybe juniors will have it rough but people with experience will always be wanted. I would write learn to code but the shit economy will probably burst the learn to code junior bubble.

Industrial electrician. Frankly, I have no clue. My high income is mostly dependent on an obscene amount of overtime. I'd rather not have to travel or relocate, not it would be feasible since i'm already in the great lakes area.

I'm not worried about automation actually. Humans will always be needed for accounting because computers have no personal accountability. You can't sue a computer if it fucks up. A computer can't make judgment calls about gray areas of the law (yet).
I'm more concerned about major corporations failing and causing an influx of unemployed CPAs with lots of experience, and surviving corporations not wanting to hire a newb and train them

I work for a state government. Wagies lose their jobs while I still get payed lol.

Short term you are fucked.

Long term you're sitting pretty.

With China's economy exploding and the rest of the world scared shitless of ever being so dependent on these bat eating fucks again, China is going to lash out and start something.

All of SE Asia is dependent on foreign oil and I just can't see long term peace holding in the Middle East.

One war and oil is going $200+ a barrel and the US is the only country that can onboard any and ALL production losses from the rest of the world within weeks.

Trust me breh, the pain will be shortlived. I am EXTREMELY bullish on USA Oil and energy. If the rest of the world wants to remain 1st world, they will need Oil to do so.

I guess now that things are going south mining and metals investors will demand our services more than ever

>>17662856
>within weeks
You really don't understand how bad the situation is in the industrial sector as far as manufacturing in the US. This whole batsoupfuckery has really hurt products that are "Proudly built in the US-of A!" since some of their parts are outsourced within the country to suppliers that further outsource to other suppliers and eventually leads to the squints.
Most of what we do is assembly, not production of details/parts/components. We do not have the capacity.
>I just realized you were talking about oil
Nevermind, you're right.

>>17659193

I thought commodities cratered in recessions.....

Not being a smartass, just wondering what you are basing this on?

Customer service for health insurance. My company is non profit and hasn’t laid anybody off in like 30 some years, though.

I'm a commissioning engineer for gas compressors used in the oil and gas industry, just returned home from offshore trip and making bank.

I dont give a fuck to be honest our company is still full with work for 1 year and i will be paid 70% of my income for 10 years if we go bankrupt looool.
Oh and my house is almost paid of and i will impregnate my qt gf soon hopefully, so yeah i think i will be fine.

>>17663104
>tfw work in grocery store that keeps giving good overtime due to people wanting time off
No worries about job security.
Tons of worry about corona spread from customers tho.

>>17663093
I agree with the manufacturing, but if everybody thought like you all the time, we'd have no apples (not phones).

The silver lining of this end of the world corona scare, is that companies are now going to be more conscious of being entirely dependent on third world totalitarian dictatorships like China.

Imagine being in a board room meeting at BMW or Mercedes saying we can't produce any more cars AT ALL because we are waiting for some unique rivets / grommets from China that saved us like 5% per piece to outsource!?!?! Global supply chains are cool and all, but some companies are REALLY going to have to revisit the risk involved here. Any and all cost savings from manufacturing in China has just vanished overnight when all your production is at a standstill. I'm not exagerrating. Assembly lines in Germany are at a standsill.

>>17663133
Yeah, that's true, but you also have to consider that for many investors in metals & mining these are long-term investments

Even now that the stock markets are crashing, the fundamentals for some metals are strong in the long-term so this is a nice opportunity to increase your exposure to metals

There is a lot of risk nonetheless, and that's what our clients are trying to figure out with our help

US Customs Broker. probably fucked lol.

>>17663269
Same here bro. My company was struggling even before all this shit hit.

Seems like my thread has developed 2 factions: IT bros that think they’re solid and non-IT fags that think the IT bros are absolutely McFucked. I myself am on the IT side as well, only time will tell!

My prediction is entry level guys are probably going to be rope shopping soon, high skill guys with experience will be fine.

Finally, if you’re still in college, take out a loan for sturdy kneepads.

t. Right around a year in out of college, dice roll for me.

>>17660838
probably depends, when it came to programming firmware for cpus themselves, ive mostly used C (STM32, SAML21 and nRF52), yet some librarys/environments are written in or use C++.

Also I've written an unit test in C++, but besides that never really used it much

I expected a crash due to CoViD-19, either real damage or just panic.

I shorted HEAVY, YOLO style.

>Imagine being in a board room meeting at BMW or Mercedes saying we can't produce any more cars AT ALL because we are waiting for some unique rivets / grommets from China
That's been the case for the past decade, just add India/Philippines/Croatia/Brazil/Morocco/Bulgaria/Czechnia/Thailand to the mix.
What we've been seeing the past two years as the pseudo trade war rages on is an absurd amount of work coming from Mexico, as they tool up to produce some of the items that might've been affected had Winnie and the Orange done something more than mindless theatrics. It still wouldn't(rather, won't) be the US, just a region the US could easily control.
The news of less than 10% of workers returning to plants has properly irked the razor edge just in time folks, they're panickly grasping at whatever they can. All mexican capital has to do is buy some machinery, stand nearby with their dicks out and get a free handjob.

Lmao I can’t wait for all the uneducated fucking beaners and hicks who brag about being trade workers to get laid off. All the dumbasses who brag about “not going to college” cuz “muh trade”

Until businesses start struggling and push for deregulation. Your job will be the first to go because it isn't even a real job. You're just there because the government creates red tape to justify your existence otherwise mid-tier IQ onions normies who are too weak to learn a trade and too dumb to do anything high skill would be unemployable.
Your only marketable skill is knowing how to read and write reports. Good luck when shit hits the fan. Your job is as needed as HR department.

I'm in Consulting though, so I work with multiple meme companies to make sure they're checked. This includes some non-negotiables such as HIPAA and SOX. If anything companies will cut their own internal audit departments, which will further necessitate my outsourcing. Fingers crossed.

Yeah I'm fucked. I work part time designing exhibition stands for fairs for a small company in europoor. We just lost almost all the work for at least a half a year within month. And they don't have the cash to keep it going for such time. Already rumors we might not get the paycheck..

I just trade stocks and crypto and NEET it up. also helps that I have military disabilibux. i unironically live in a skyscraper so i feel further away from the nromalfag wagecucks but close enough to have access to fun shit. i'd kill myself before i even became a wagecuck again. i couldn't care less if everything crashes, actually better for me if it does.

I used to work in that. Low level but fairly sure they wouldn't fire me as I was the only one who handled it well and didn't leave after a few months. However I'm currently a neet so somewhat recession/depression proof so long as my parent's retirement funds don't disappear.

have you even worked before? Senior positions and high skilled jobs are not secure at all, it all depends on your CHARISMA and connections, if you have neither it is very probable that you are on board of the first wave of firings even though you think the company is going under with out you (protip: they don't care and/or you're not really that essential), and that fat girl from HR is gonna laugh her ass off giving you the forms to sign your resigination.

I work sales in workers comp insurance. It's legally mandated insurance so the clients won't be going anywhere, payrolls will go down which is what premium/commission is based on so that could suck a little

He asked if they spoke Deutsch, none of them did. He said if anyone raised their hand to both, he would've offered them a job on the spot. So idk be bilingual I guess. Just don't learn Mandarin

I buy non running or crashed cars and fix them up and sell them for profit. Used car prices actually go up during a recession so it's looking good for me.

I'm about an hour out from down town Philly in the path of progress. I started doing rentals because my regular work was feast or famine. I'm glad I did too because that source of income has gone from mediocre to fucked over the last few years. First place I bought was a duplex on a block where every house was empty from foreclosure, lived in it and fixed it up with mostly myself with some help from people willing to help me basically for free. If you have next to no money like me when I started out, you just have to be willing to go on the adventure and do the shit other people are unwilling to do. Even right now, I decided to rent out the apartment I was staying in and now live in a used trailer I bought for $4k I have parked behind my current project apartment building. Pretty serendipitous, I don't even have to prep for Corona virus because my house is already pre-built for off grid. I've grown a musketeer mustachio and consider myself a pirate at this point, because my situation is also so tax advantaged that I pay zero tax other than property. I've stopped buying consoomer junk, and am in the process of selling my one car that has a loan on it, then I will have achieved true escape. Best of luck frens, know that it is possible.

I don't give a fuck about anything. In the '08 recession the worst thing that happened to us was that our work week was dropped to 35 hours. But the Union stepped in and paid us all the difference in hours so we were actually getting paid for 40 hours despite only working 35.

Low level C is always appreciated in Embedded. It will never die.
C++ with a mix of C(memset, free etc) is frequent more frequent in embedded systems now I think.
Embedded has a high entry margin but there's less competition. A good way is to literally learn a book about C/C++, algorithms and data structures(codility, geeksforgeeks) and apply for an internship to a big corporation.
The interviews are like exams and once you are in people will help you learn.

I'm a contractor with government. I ain't going anywhere. Only risk is that our contract is up for bidding and it's down between my company and another firm.

They'll be keeping everyone on regardless, but I get the feeling if the other guys win it, they'll try to fuck with our salaries.

I work for a family food stall business and so far everyone has been avoiding the malls like the plague. No joke! I've already seen most of my hours and my co-workers cut since! Why did this have to happen? I was so close to paying off most of the debt! I'm absolutely seething!

No I started in August but I wanted to drop out because my Civil Engineering 101 class showing us the basic shit we'd do in the job looked boring as shit to me. I'm doing well in my classes because I have no social life so that's not a problem. My plan was to do the trade school meme or something but I don't know what to do now that the markets are shit. I don't have any investments so I'm not worried about that just job outlook.

Civil is quite stable due to lots of involvement with gov't. I know people who work for the DOT, train companies, wastewater, environmental impact audits, etc.
As for boring, don't know what to tell you. Working stinks. I was ChemE and do a MechE job and it's boring, I'm not sure you're ever gonna escape it fully. The choice is yours, but your major choice is solid employment-wise.

Have some respect for the people. They are necessary. Fast food not really, but jobs like food growers, clothes manufacturers, garbage men, retail workers, cleaners, are always being frowned upon because arrogant people like you think that those people that are more important than you idiots will ever be are expendable, but without them nothing would work properly. Get your heads out of your assholes.

Correctional officer here. Was a police officer at one point also. I think the former is more secure job wise in a recession. But in fact both sectors of my county are hiring at the moment. I’m more worried about what would happen if there was a mass quarantine because of covid-19. They can’t exactly just let inmates leave, and someone has to do our job which is why I’m worried I’d still have to go in every day. But at least my job is secure for now and I’m not on the streets dealing with the public or potential rioting eventually

I found a seller that needed to close a sale on his property by year end for tax purposes and was willing to seller finance to get it done. I had been looking for a first property for 3 years at that point. If you start with a pile of cash it will be way easier for you.

As far as loans being debt slavery, 3-4% is pretty much the best rate plebs have ever gotten in the history of the human race, and maybe an opportunity unique to just this time in history. Plus, it's not like I really have to do much after the initial effort of rehabbing a house (which is a lot of work admittedly). Right now I feel a lot less like a slave than the average Joe, as I can take any day of the week off I want (as I did day to visit with out of town family), no boss to tell me no or threaten to fire me.
