  • The tech industry went through massive changes this year, laying off more than 150,000 workers.

  • As a result, entry-level employees might reconsider a tech career even though the industry is hiring.

  • Here's a list of the worst entry-level tech jobs of 2022, according to experts.

Much has changed across the tech industry over the past year.

Elon Musk took over Twitter and attempted to lay off more than half the company. Then Meta cut tens of thousands of jobs. Soon after, Amazon commenced the largest layoffs in its history. Meanwhile, Google launched a cost-cutting initiative with a new performance evaluation system that has left many employees worried about their roles.

But big tech companies weren't the only ones with layoffs. More than 150,000 tech workers have lost their jobs just this year across industries such as health tech, education tech, and crypto, according to data from tracker Layoffs.fyi.

Despite the mass job cuts, many companies across the tech industry are still hiring.

But given the uncertainty of the tech job market, college seniors, recent grads, and entry-level job candidates might be reconsidering whether they want to pursue a career in tech right now.

Insider spoke to tech career coaches, workers, and a Silicon Valley therapist and canvassed forums on Blind, Fishbowl, and Reddit to compile a list of the worst entry-level jobs in tech right now.

Since the definition of "worst" is subjective, Insider evaluated positions across several factors including total compensation, stress level, potential career development, and ultimate fulfillment.
