When did the layoff happen? Is this from the Feb round of layoffs?

Don't get discouraged!

Just this last week. I've found a couple of positions in interested in but I think it's the overall anxiety of the situation and only having. 1.5 yoe. I've thought about taking a vacation for a few days but I'm scared of going somewhere while not having a job/being in the middle of applying to jobs

Associate, healthcare. Based out of Atl so there are some opportunities that I really really like but I feel like if i don't get those then I'll just be stuck with something I'm not happy with

Yup. Side project + running/ gym is what got me through my job search.

How long did it take y'all to find a new job? I don't know what's the normal down time period that's acceptable

I think 3-4 months is the average, but it depends on the industry and season. On the east coast, firms do hire in June and July but August is completely dead. Then things pick up in September.

3-4 months? 😰

.

It took me ~2 months. Started March 1st, offer by May 5th, laid off May 27th, will join new job late June.

Took a colleague 2 weeks but in California

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

So are the layoffs at Deloitte over ?

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?

At this point in the game it doesn't make a difference where you at everybody is getting laid off at one point or another the only thing I say is try to repair yourself for it if it happens to you
