I was employed at a well paid but boring government company for 4 years. The daily 4 hour commute became unbearable as public transport became less and less reliable.

So I applied and landed a job at a tech company, mostly remote. Unfortunately, they've started culling the workforce and it's very likely I'll be let go.

Question 1: Should I already start looking for a new job? I'm only a month into this one. I don't want to be caught off guard when they give me the boot.

Question 2: How fucked is the job market right now?
