It's been a month and I'm still looking.

3-4 months. Jan/Feb is the best hiring season, Nov/Dec is the worst. Most layoffs happen in Nov. 😒

Was laid off week before thanksgiving and started a new job second week in January. I was also actively looking. Didn't necessarily look for what might be the best fit but jumped at the first opportunity on the basis that, if it sucks in 6 months, I'll start the job search anew. Had a couple of other prospects lined up for interviews that I was more interested in but didn't want to risk the job offer and not have any of the prospects work out.

If you got laid off, I hope it wasn't a surprise and you were already looking. Most layoffs are 3/4th quarter when clients run out of money. If you don't have anything to do in September, call everyone you know.

A few weeks but I was actively looking. I think it's also probably easier for Account since our skills are relatively general.

Hello guys,

Please help.

Recently, a month back I made a switch to a product based company/startup. For a month, I was getting to know their one of the product having tech stack as Java & Aws. Now after a month, I am being put in a new product completely based on golang & temporal.

My total exp is 3.8 years, since I have already spent 3.8 of my life in Java stack, would that be good for me if I make a switch to some other language or tech stack? I see, there are very few position for go.

I got hired not long ago. I realise some of the employee benefits i was told (missing in the contract) contradict with what’s stated on the law. So i email the boss about it and ask for clarification. Immediately after the email i was fired.

Just want to make sure people know this and don’t apply jobs in this shady company- it is called UniQ Biotech, in Delta, BC, Canada

It is painful to say, but some of this shows up in me and in my relationship. I am starting to catch myself, and it to me seems to be more of a reaction than anythjng that is ever intentional.

Wondering if anyone has dealt with something similar, and any success in making changes besides therapy. Cont. in comments
