Job was postponed 9 months. So I scrambled and found another full time job within the same week. Consulting sets you up pretty good, don’t you worry!

I agree with ACN 1 - it took me 5 months but I was laid off in October. Right around the holidays when things tend to slow down. Now that the market is hot - you’ll be fine!

6 months from the day I stopped the first job and the day I started the second.

Yes 7 months. Though I didn’t start job hunting for the first 2 months or so

6 months. Didn’t start in earnest until about 1-2 months in.

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

I just got laid off from my job as a gov contractor because the project I was working on ended.

Should I go ahead and try applying for those roles now since I don’t have a job? Or should I wait since I’m still in school until next May?

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞
