Final Thoughts
The 2025 tech layoffs underscore a structural reset, not just a cyclical slowdown. Companies are reshaping teams around AI efficiency, profitability, and long-term resilience, often at the cost of short-term employment stability.
While hiring has not disappeared, it has become far more selective, favouring AI, data, infrastructure, and revenue-critical roles. For professionals, adaptability, continuous learning, and cross-functional skills are increasingly essential in navigating the evolving tech landscape.
