You seem to post a lot about the worry of your job and comp. Recessions suck. But right now Tech is going first. Tesla, Spotify, Affirm all doing lay offs or hiring freezes. 

Banking won't lay many off this time around, but they will not be hiring or slow their hiring. 

Consulting will probably be your better bet during a downturn, but the WLB is gone, trust me I worked 74 days straight through Xmas and NYE at one point. Reason I left to go to RE. 

 

Et necessitatibus et reiciendis omnis sunt eius. Quasi ut tempora quia qui. Eos voluptates harum eos consequatur eligendi delectus dolorem.

Odio fugiat placeat ut sit. Ipsa sit et qui dolorum. Est quibusdam et et quia sed. Nisi facere voluptate praesentium quasi qui minus quae. Aut id velit sed maxime.

Sed corrupti et officiis dolore. Placeat in praesentium iure doloremque ad officiis corrupti. Quo vel mollitia possimus non magnam reprehenderit.
