Got laid off three months ago from Strategy, and found and starting a new job in two weeks with 15% higher pay! Thought it was going to take me more than half a year and I would go broke by then. Just wanted to share a success story so those who got laid off can feel some hope!

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
