A recent report by jobs platform Hired shows that senior engineers are more likely to survive the recent spate of layoffs that are sweeping across the tech industry.

Junior engineers are more likely to be impacted by the recent spate of layoffs across the technology industry, according to a report released this week by jobs platform Hired.

“A lot of the layoffs that we’ve seen have actually impacted the more junior talent and talent from more non-traditional backgrounds,” Hired CEO Josh Brenner said, especially impacting engineers with less than six years experience.

On the flip side, more senior engineers are being retained, as companies batten down the hatches ahead of an expected economic downturn.
