As luck would have it, isn’t it sweet when the severance turns out to be a profitable exit?

Congrats, my friend! 🍻

You must have been actively interviewing way before you got your lay off notice. So looks like you made your own luck!
Give yourself the credit you deserve - and congrats!

Out of curiosity, How did you turn that around so quickly? Did you start looking/applying after your layoff announcement on Fri?

Makes sense, glad you were thinking ahead and that things worked out perfectly

Awesome. Spend some of that severance on a nice dinner and enjoy the next two weeks!

Is it just me or do 90% of the jobs being laid off by big tech sound made up? Many job descriptions with multiple bullet points that all kinda revolve around the same idea.

I recently interviewed with Natwest and I got confirmation that they wanted to offer a role. Salary negotiations were started. However, now I got an email from the hiring manager that hiring for my role has been paused due to the ongoing cost of living crisis. He expects to resume the hiring for the role in Q1 '23 and would resume the process then. So is it the end? Honestly, I don't expect him to come back. But what do you think?

What's triggering you to feel exhausted, negative, or lose your motivation?

We all start our jobs full of hope and promise. That same hope and promise may still be there. However, the eventual grind or consistent overcommitment of anything will trigger you towards Burnout if you are not aware of them.

Be aware if you are consistently over-committing to something that will burn you out. Take breaks. Change your patterns. Whatever you need to do. Just don't overdo it.
