Feeling pretty lonely/down, having been laid off from Deloitte. Anyone want to chat? Just want to talk. 28/M

Aww sorry OP. I’m also in transition and feeling lonely/out of routine. DM me if you’d like!

It's an opportunity to do something that you would otherwise not do. I would suggest pack your bags and travel new places for some time -- the travel will show you the path ahead (e.g., start new business, join a startup, change careers)

In the same boat. Please DM if you like.

Happens to the best of us. Know it's not personal, as personally painful as it might feel. I've been there and was jobless for a whole year (slow offers, migrated) before getting into a consulting job i always wanted. I isolated myself for fear of judgement from others- don't do what i did if you have a good support system. Please take your time to grieve then get back out there. Remember that no one really cares as long as you show your value at interviews and beyond. And when you're at your new job, and you will be soon, you'll make it back swinging, promise.

I’ve been on the bench with J1 for about 3 months.

I’ve kept J1 because I’m still on the bench doing absolutely nothing and getting paid. Thinking about looking for a role on a project with J1 that’s not along my career path but will allow for me to do work with no calls so that I can manage both jobs. Does anyone have experience or advice?
