I hear you.

And you know what I mean by that.

It is not a casual _I hear you_, but I honestly can hear your worry and vulnerability.

I am sorry, I can't offer you much in the sense of assurance from this side of the pond. I do not believe in sugarcoating, and direct news from our industry and several others are bad. We are heading towards a recession, some believe that US is already in one. Our oil and gas industry (which employs a lot of IT by the way, and is partners with Microsoft) is cutting 20-25% of its workforce globally. Higher rate in the US. Potentially 30%. It is happening now. Many are blaming AI for the job loss. Others blaming the populist and right-wing nationalistic policies. 

See if you can read this without the paywall

There is an audio version too in the post.

Getting back to the personal and family stuff. I don't know what to say, but seems like it is hard for us to keep relationships stable during times of crisis. So it feels like the correlation between human relationships and financial turmoil is at it highest right now.

Hello friend :)

Yes, worry and vulnerability casting a fairly hefty shadow on me at present - some of which I know can be change with perspective (or a lobotomy).

> We are heading towards a recession, some believe that US is already in one.

This time around you get the feeling it's big and bad news, for years.  Which is why I'm looking for more 'hands on' experience, so I could find something to earn no matter what.

>  the correlation between human relationships and financial turmoil is at it highest right now.

Yep - experiencing this first hand at present, ouch!
