What are your thoughts on the economy? Soft landing or recession?

Curious what you guys think is gonna happen, especially with impending rate hikes by the fed, but still strong labor market/consumer spending. A lot of panic right now at my firm about more people getting counseled out than normal due to slow business. Do you think the fed will be able to avoid a recession and orchestrate a soft landing? How long will this recession last?
