That sucks. Keep your head up, update your résumé, and start applying for jobs. It happens to all us (3 times for me), and you have to keep moving forward.

Your new job is finding a new job. Remember that is isn't a reflection on you, and while it's hard, try not to take it personally.

Don't forget to apply for unemployment.

You'll find something else!

Don’t give up, man (or woman). We’ve all been there.

First and foremost apply for unemployment because the sooner you start, the sooner you get money, so delaying just reduces the money you can get!

It’s a rite of passage in this industry. Don’t take it too personally. Just dust yourself off and onto the next.

Take it as an opportunity to make the career pivot or jump you’ve always considered.

I’ve been there too. And the lay-off forced me to get a new job that was the springboard for getting where I am now.

Good luck out there, kid!

sup squad,


got a verbal offer today for a title bump and almost double my old salary. papers should be here EOW. here’s to (hopefully) my first virtual onboarding.

I am a registered sales assistant which means I have my series 7. I also have the 63 and my Life & Health license.

I have a gut feeling that I’m not being paid market value but it’s tough to find comparable salaries. Do you think $15.38/hr is a fair wage in this case?
