Feeling bummed out natural, we talk so much of our identity to our jobs. I know reading this probably won’t help but it’s true. Layoffs are part of the working life. I have a buddy who was a SFA got laid off for six months. Next job finance manager with a pay bump, got laid off for a year next job was corporate controller for a smaller company with a pay bump left that to be corporate controller for another company and got laid off 6 months with a pay bump became a Director. Laid off for a year due to pandemic and now he got another pay bump to be VP of finance somewhere. Not saying this is normal but sometimes career paths that look easy are actually quite arduous

I think you may have to broaden what industries you would want to work in, tech and startups are getting clobbered right now.

Where are you located also. Location plays a big role as well. As others noted, are you open to other industries?

Look up Ottobock…tons of jobs in US, Canada, Germany, etc… not a tech startup but maybe a good place to springboard.

If you can't find a referral here, I would try over on Linked in. I usually have good luck over there! Best of luck to you.

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.
Continuing the POST (++)

I saw someone else do this, so imma give it a shot.

which is fair, and to show my credibility I published my first app last week, but I’m still getting similar messages from recruiters this week. Idk what to do??

I had very positive feedback on my interviews for a S&O role but the team hired someone internally. If I interview again for a differenr role, would I have to do all the interviews again or can I use some of the scores from previous interviews. I understand doing RRK again makes sense but what about GCA, googlyness or leadership . Thank you
