Yes! Being laid off still feels like shit but getting severance and my new offer on the same day was pretty magical.

Yes! It was a miracle. Was freelancing and told my last day was Friday (on Thursday) but luckily had an email in my inbox about an interview that I then scheduled for Friday and started the job on Tuesday. Phew. Good luck!

Hello fishes, recently I have received the job offers from Akamai & Nasdaq with kind of equivalent pay. I've an experience of 2.7 yrs in Java Backend. In Nasdaq, I feel the project is slightly on better side and also domain driven in comparison of Akamai. The only thing that is troubling me is 90 days notice policy in Nasdaq. Just want to check if it's a bad thing or would it still be worthy against the project & domain.
