Tech giants are opting for layoffs. I'm honestly on the edge of my nerves and I've never been more anxious because I don't have much savings, and the situation on the job market is difficult and I haven't been able to get a new offer for a long time. How are you coping with this time of uncertainty?

Lol cry me a River you work on a tech company with 6 figure salary with no savings, you deserve this.
Look for jobs in the oil industry if you are in AI, Big Data, Data Analytics. They are hiring and pay more than Amazon or MicroSoft. There are even some companies in the Seattle area that build systems for the oil industry that need these skills. Think outside the box, and always, always network constantly outside your company so when you want to leave or move on, or the company eliminates your position (or fires you for cause or poor performance), you can rapidly find a new job.
Tech companies owe it to the public. They need to let the cat out of the bag that the number of people trying to enter the workforce is way more than the sham openings that they have. It is long overdue for people to look for alternate careers. What are they ? Even I would like to know.
