Aaron Agte and Trishul Patel Season 7 Episode 7

In 2024, tech stocks were up, while layoffs were also up, leading to a general concern among tech employees. 

Tech employees saw their incomes rise dramatically from their equity compensation, but the specter of layoffs meant most people were still concerned. Aaron and Trishul discuss some of the potential reasons behind this dichotomy and how to help people deal with the fear. A healthy cash reserve can help mitigate the concerns of job loss and market downturns as well.
