Don't quit until you have a solid job ready for you to walk through the door. I have heard many people searching for months, people with great resumes even. The job market is full, so if you have a job, hold onto it. Go ahead and start applying if you feel you need to, but don't jump the ship until you have your lifejacket ready.

It's happening everywhere. Personally, I'd stay put since now it's not a good time to be out there and job searching.

It does seem to be happening everywhere. I wouldn’t quit right now with out a place to land unless you are very comfortable financially and can afford it going on for awhile.

How is your 2024 SOW looking? If you have work lined up but are still worried about layoffs, it's worth dipping your toes in the water and interviewing

Have an interview with a company I really want to work for tomorrow. My last job I was laid off b/c of an acquisition&recently accepted a job at a diff company b/c I couldnt afford not to. I got this invite shortly after. The place I’m interviewing at the job wouldn’t start til next year. I dont want to seem like a job hopper. Do i tell them I’m at a new role or just not bring it up? The acquisition was public so they can see Im no longer employed with the most recent work history on my resume

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.
