Don’t know if we’ll shrink or grow if this continues but budget for guarantee pay in your current seat (and nothing more) and pay off as much debt as possible. Always. In good times and bad......until the day you retire.

That’s prudent. Not ominous.
Hiring should continue to at least cover attrition for a while. Retirements continue to increase until they peak in 2028.
