Firstly, kind sir, layoffs are hard for each and everyone of us and I wish you best as you navigate it. I know you will get many wishes and good lucks though but consider my wishes to be one of many to help ya out.
I recommend if you can share your CV/send a message there, I will try to also keep an eye on it if you do share your CV/resume there and I would love to upvote your comment there to shower some more exposure/love from the community as you are member of hackernews. You are also part of the hackernews community and its the least that I/we can do.
Seems like a somewhat traditional suggestion with a potentially massive financial and time commitment. Not that it's not something to do, but why do you think that's the move right now, especially since they're clearly established in their career and nobody cares about it after a few years?
Not the GP, but I think the reason is, that right now it's super hard to get a new job, because of so many things, but mostly, because of AI craze and tanking economies. Bridging that time with a degree is not the worst idea, if you can afford it.
I can't see or reply to the original comment since it's been nuked, but I can infer what it was saying.
I actually started studying part-time for a mathematics degree earlier this year, and I don't plan on stopping that now. Having a degree does open doors at more traditional companies and government jobs, and it would also make immigration to another country sometime in the future a lot more straightforward. There are definitely benefits, even though I'm established in my career!
pretty minor since the rest are fine but your linkedin link is broken
oh indeed it is! thanks for the heads up!

When someone has already demonstrated they can do the work, what additional value do you think them getting a degree will bring to a company?
Sometimes the degree is needed in order for the company to be allowed to pay him over a specific amount/scale.
