What companies are likely to survive the coming recession?


Dear HN community,

I live in Germany::Berlin and work for a large multinational e-commerce company. Its share price dropped more than 70% last year. I specialize in backend/java.

Several questions:

-=-= How can I analyze the financial stability of the company? Or at least gain some insight?

-=-= What companies have some growth potential in 2022-2023?

-=-= Do you expect many backend developers to lose their jobs in 2022-2023?

-=-= What would be your strategy to develop your career (as backend developer)?

Thank you!

It might not be worth worrying about too much.

Solid engineers will always find their skills in demand. At least, a reduction in demand is as of yet unprecedented in 40 years since the field of expertise emerged.
