For experienced devs, were you put on PIP early in your career? How did you bounce back from it to stay in the industry? (self.experienced_devs)

I'm a new grad who started at one of the Big Tech companies this past year. Been recently notified that I'm in danger of being placed under PIP due to underperformance, which I thought was fair due to extenuating familial circumstances. I'm personally feeling despair in being capable or being able to stay in the tech industry considering my lack of ability or general aptitude.

Not usually. It's a business process, so it's often done on paper or something. "Write down how you plan to stop sucking so badly, we'll come back in 6 weeks and review your progress"
