Hi Sharks 🦈,

Need some suggestions: My current company is on a layoff spree and 2 rounds are already done and I can foresee another round coming very soon.

While I am trying to switch to other companies, I’m not able to reveal the real reason from my side for the job change, as if I say, it’s because of layoff fears than it’ll reduce my negotiation power.

What other reasons can I give as I’ve just completed 9 months here and it’s too soon for any other company to take me in.

You can’t create negotiation leverage out of thin air. If your company is laying people off, it is what it is. Instead of seeking for leverage in your current job situation, which isn’t great, focus on getting multiple offers and use each other as leverage in their negotiations

9 months isn't too soon for another company to hire you, but you need a better answer than "I'm trying to leave before I get laid off". Make something up about better growth opportunities, culture, type of work or similar that another company can offer that you aren't getting at your current job. Don't worry about leverage, not yet.

Your role shows up here as Chief of Staff. Without knowing more about your prior career history or what kinds of roles you’d be applying for, if it’s true that your current Chief of Staff role is a departure from your prior roles, and you’re going out for non-CoS jobs, you could say that this pivot ended up unexpectedly taking you further away from your long-term career goals and you now want to get back on the right path?
