Hello! I was recently laid off by my company due to an internal financial situation. The total time I’ve spent there is about 5 months. Will there be an issue getting a new job?

No I don’t think so, I have stayed at places for <6 months and never had a hard time hopping. I’m sure hiring managers understand layoff situations and would never rule someone out because of it. (At least good ones wouldn’t!)

It shouldn't impact you negatively. Just be prepared to explain the circumstances behind your being let go. You should be fine.

Nah, you'll be fine. If you had like 3 or 4 stints like that in a row, then yeah, people might read into that as being more than just bad luck. But it happens. If anything, it reflects worse on the company than it does on you.

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 said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.
