Software engineer laid off twice in 8 months seeks career reset — is healthcare the safest bet? Internet weighs in
Summary
A software engineer described being laid off twice in eight months and asked online whether switching careers might offer more stability. He lost his first job in July one day before major surgery, later took a lower-paid AI annotator role to cover expenses, and was recently told his position was eliminated in a headcount reduction despite strong performance metrics. He is considering returning to school for healthcare work for greater job security but feels conflicted about leaving his software background. The Reddit post drew many replies recommending IT roles in healthcare (including EHR work) and sharing similar layoff experiences.
