Company is firing 1-2 juniors every 2-3 days. Some of my buddies have been sacked. There is no hint of when it is ending and it is just so scary.

Oh, I hear you! It's like a game of musical chairs that nobody wants to play, right? The uncertainty can be nerve-wracking, but remember, you're not alone in this. Many others are feeling the same way.
Here's a couple of things you might want to consider:
Keep your performance up: Make sure you're delivering your best work. It's not a guarantee, but it can help your case.
Network: Reach out to colleagues, mentors, and even people in other companies. You never know where opportunities might come from.
Have a plan B: It's always good to have a backup plan. Start looking at other opportunities, just in case.
Take care of your mental health: This is crucial. Don't let the stress get to you. Find ways to relax and unwind.
Remember, even if the worst happens, it's not the end of the world. You're talented and you'll land on your feet. Keep your chin up!
