Hi guys I was recently laid off and I am very concerned about what is going to happen to my health insurance as I was getting my insurance through my job and it's benefits and its not like I can remain on my parent's health insurance because I will be turning 26 in a few months. Is anyone in a similar situation or have any recommendations on what to do in this situation?

I've been using COBRA to retain my insurance plan. However, the premium is very expensive under COBRA. Just to give you an idea - $1700+/month for a family of 3.

If anyone has information on alternative insurance for self-employed, please share it on this thread. I've been doing independent consulting since I got laid off.

Did they give you CORBA. Every employer who has offered medical insurance usually provide CORBA coverage . CORBA is supposed to continue coverage for a month after you get laid off. Also, if your lay off date was 1 day into the month that your were laid off , you would
get coverage for that month. For eg. Let’s say my last date at work was Dec 1st. Then I get insurance for Dec because my salary for that 1 day would have paid for the premium.

After that, you can continue to buy the same insurance but at a higher price. You can also shop around for cheaper insurance with lower premiums .

You can shop around for cheaper insurance. Sorry about the typos.

If you’re in the US the marketplace is a good option

Hi Fishes,

I got interviewed at infosys two days back.
When can I expect to hear back from them.
Also all the questions that were asked to me were written coding questions(Write block of code) none were verbal.I could write all answers but none was 100% correct.

At last I asked the interviewer about feedback as in where was I wrong. He said at couple of places and he explained me where was I wrong.

Do you all think I will be rejected?

Is this FOMO or is there real opportunity here?
