Are we heading into another recession? Maybe. But whether we are or not, the fear of recession is very real—and for many, that fear is tied directly to their job and financial security.

In this video, I walk through what I’ve learned from living through the dotcom bubble, the 2008 housing crash, the COVID collapse, and everything since. I cover what you can control—your skills, your finances, your job search—and how to stay calm, focused, and strategic.

This video is especially for software engineers, but the advice applies to anyone wondering how to stay relevant, employed, and less stressed if the economy takes a downturn.

What you'll learn:

The key mindset shifts that help during downturns

How to make yourself more employable in this job market

Why local jobs and referrals matter more than ever

How to think about reskilling quickly and efficiently

What to do if remote work dries up

Why moving might be back on the table for job seekers

I’ve been through economic chaos before—and I promise you, if you know what to focus on, you can get through it stronger.

I've been a software engineer since 2008 and with over a decade of experience, the industry is as crazy and as varied as ever.

I continually get asked for career advice and how to navigate writing code for a living and I wanted to share everything I've learned in hopes that I can help someone who is just starting in software engineering, who has been in it for a while and is too afraid to ask, or the seasoned vet to either agree or argue with me.

The intent of this channel is to have multiple series that include the following topics:
💰 Compensation
📈 Negotiations
📚 Career advice and guidance
📈 Stocks, RSUs, Stock options, and ESPP plans
👨‍🏫 Engineering interviews

I've done just about everything in software from working for 3 person start ups, 300 person start ups, silicon valley companies, Fortune 500 companies, small teams, big teams, W2 employment and 1099 contracting, full time contracting and moonlight part time work, independent development, launching my own web apps and iphone app.
