I design labs, and my current employer serves primarily higher ed and government clients. This is gonna blow a massive hole in our bottom line, and fear that something like this was coming is why I’m starting to look for employers with an international footprint and/or more private sector clientele. Even if this freeze is only temporary, it’s going to kick off a massive wave of brain drain from universities and federal labs to private industry and foreign institutions, and I don’t blame the folks making those choices, but it’s also gonna impact how much demand there is for my services.
