🛫 Departures and layoffs

Long-term demand for tech talent in sectors like health care remains high, despite news of layoffs in the tech industry throughout the first half of the year, per a report by McKinsey. 

Health care and pharmaceutical are among the industries undergoing significant digital transformations, but recent Big Tech earnings indicate that the technology is not yet at the forefront of revenue gains and stock reactions. 

As health care becomes more digitized, those involved in the industry are looking at how newly available data can be used to enhance decisions related to care, quality, research and ROI.
