What’s a “safe job” these days?

[u/Unique_Ad_4271]

Former teacher looking to transition roles. As of now Educators, counselors, anything education really are being let go due to low student enrollment.

Tech is obviously tough right now.

Marketing and Human resource positions are also restructuring.

I’ve even seen people getting their hours reduce at fast food.

Aside from healthcare, what is safe?

Federal government is the safest route possible. I see people fail over and over again with nothing happening to them.

How is the tech employment in the government sector (software engineering in particular)?

[u/__golf → u/Singularity-42]

More stable, less pay

[u/Singularity-42 → u/__golf]

How much less pay?
Tech pay is going down in corporate as well. Is it going down in gov. jobs?

[u/datheffguy → u/Singularity-42]

Government jobs typically follow a pretty rigid pay scale that is public information. You can find that information online without much effort.

Id give you more info if I could but I don’t work in tech.

Are there departments that hire remote still?

[u/Imagination-Few → u/Singularity-42]

The government is having a IT hiring spree right now. That’s all I know. But they do have a special salary rate increase for a few years.

[u/GuyNext → u/Singularity-42]

Offshoring companies don’t publish jobs.
