For years, <strong>tech stocks<\/strong> ran with enormous valuations, with<strong> over-inflated workforces<\/strong> of employees getting paid six-figure salaries with even more impressive bonus packages. This wasn\u2019t sustainable by any means, and as <strong>a new type of CEO<\/strong> steps in, tech companies are looking to get leaner, more operationally efficient, and return to their startup-like roots. But how does this reforming tech market <strong>affect the US economy<\/strong>?<\/p>\n<p>We brought on <strong>Aman Verjee<\/strong>, founder of Practical Venture Capital, to explain <strong>what\u2019s happening in Silicon Valley and what it means for your finances<\/strong>. Aman has worked in the tech sector for almost as long as it\u2019s been relevant. From<strong> PayPal <\/strong>to <strong>eBay<\/strong>, <strong>Sonos<\/strong>, and more, Aman has been on the ground floor of some of the most promising tech companies, helping them operate with<strong> leaner teams <\/strong>while bringing in <strong>bigger revenues<\/strong>. And as an industry expert, Aman isn\u2019t surprised or disappointed by the recent <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/money-380\">tech layoffs<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>He touches on <strong>why these <\/strong><a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/finances-after-layoff\"><strong>layoffs<\/strong><\/a><strong> aren\u2019t what most people think<\/strong>, how they could affect the overall economy, what CEOs need to know to survive this market, and what everyday investors should<strong> look at BEFORE buying tech stocks<\/strong>. Aman\u2019s practical advice is CRUCIAL for anyone investing. And as the <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.biggerpockets.com\/blog\/money-327\">stock market<\/a> becomes more and more tech-centered, knowing some of this information could help you<strong> make FAR more lucrative decisions<\/strong> on which companies you\u2019re rooting for.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/biggerpockets-money-podcast\/id1330225136\">Click here to listen on Apple Podcasts<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Listen to the Podcast Here<\/h2>\n<h2>Read the Transcript Here<\/h2>\n<h2>Watch the Podcast Here<\/h2>\n<p>Help us reach new listeners on <a rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/biggerpockets-money-podcast\/id1330225136\">iTunes<\/a>&nbsp;by leaving us a rating and review!
