The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a tech bubble, leading to a surge in hiring and employee experience. However, as the pandemic subsides, many tech companies are now facing layoffs, with some citing the possibility of a recession. Despite this, IT professionals with skills in cybersecurity, cloud, and data analytics/machine learning are still in high demand. Los Angeles-based infrastructure company, Sonos, has also announced layoffs in an effort to optimize business operations while still providing top-notch service to its customers.
