Content Data

This page contains data entry 86989 from the Axioma AXP content repository. The structured data below represents the complete record for this entry.

I get that this is an economics sub, and statistics and data are rightfully what’s most important here, but figured I’d share my own story. For me personally, the economy is neither good nor bad. Just mediocre.

2020: Graduated college in Dec, couldn’t find a job for months. 100k in student loan debt 🥲

2021: Found a job in April, pretty good salary for a new grad. (90k base)

2022: Laid off after 1 year - company got acquired and most of the team was let go afterwards

2022 (1 month later): started a new job that paid 50% more than the old one. Fantastic benefits, work from home, what I always dreamed of. 6 months later, things finally felt stable, I finally built up my savings, and I got engaged.

2023: Got laid off, only got 1 week severance. Was out of work for 8 months afterwards. BRUTAL job market. I was smart about finances, but I had to start using credit cards.

Start of 2024: Unemployment finally ran out, savings were nearly depleted, but miraculously found a job through an old connection at the start of the year. Pay was technically higher than last company, but pretty much no benefits, and not the ideal job imo. Different industry too.

Now: Mostly paid off the credit cards, still have a little bit to go. Rent is sky-high, so I’m considering moving to another city. Company hasn’t given me health insurance yet, so I’m still on Medicaid and dealing with some really annoying health issues. But things are better than before, I’m relieved.

How do I feel? Well, I’m relieved to have a job. Doing a lot better than I was when I was unemployed. I’m in tech, so I’m terrified of getting fired at this new job. Some of my past managers are still out of work.

Right now, the economy is neither great nor terrible for me. It’s just ok. There are a ton of factors at play here, but rough white-collar job market is the biggest thing.
