С учетом того, что сейчас увольняют десятки тысяч людей из иностранных компаний. Нормальное ли время для того, чтобы идти в этот рынок?

Ответ:
It's a very good question, and I anticipated it to be asked. Yes, layoffs are a serious consideration. There are many factors involved, and we don't know the future. However, assuming North America doesn't go into a major recession, here is my perspective:
1. The layoffs we see in the news are mainly coming from the Big Tech companies (on top of other factors, they over-hired in the 1st place) and several other sectors experiencing hardships (e.g. Banking and Finance)
2. Skilled tech talent reminds in demand in many other industries (e.g. Healthcare, Consulting, Innovation, Environment and Sustainability)
3. History lesson: this reminds me of the DOT COM crash in the early 2000s when tech was down, but bounced back and prospered as no other industry since the industrial revolution
4. Unemployment remains low in N. America (don't know about other countries but you can check)
5. Preparing to look for a job abroad is a very serious initiative. It will take months to get ready (English, Interview Prep, Researching - countries, immigration, companies etc), and by then the cycle of layoffs might end, hopefully.
Good luck!
