Really depends on the tech company too.

Meta, Amazon, Microsoft and NVIDIA have been huge on personnel growth.

Apple has quite famously been very stingy in growth that way.

On the flip side it meant they had fewer layoffs, if any, when everyone else was recalibrating with mass layoffs.

It's not that Apple was shrewder than others - it's just that since it is primarily a hardware business, Apples "Covid boom" was far smaller than the rest (online services). Meta, Amazon and Microsoft had massive growth due everyone being at home all the time (Nvidia took advantage of from supply-chain restrictions to increase margins, and non-covid-related crypto boom)
