Balancing savings and protection from layoffs

I'm trying to prepare for possible tech layoffs while saving for a condo

What I wish I knew
"I should have started saving more aggressively for a down payment earlier"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider reducing debt and building a larger emergency fund before saving for a home"
