I have been laid off by my current company but they kept me on payroll till 8th Sept. I have applied and given interviews to many companies but they have been very slow. Fortunately I am in the last round of a series C startup company where I completed 2 video interviews and 1 onsite design cum take home challenge and just waiting for the CEO and CTO to take my interview. The CEO has been traveling for 2 weeks. I don't know what to expect in this last round. Any thoughts/perspective on this?

Got fired today. All my above the line work got positive nods. My CD was overly picky about every word in my email blasts and collateral. I’m sure that’s what did it. Luckily I have a produced radio spot, another on the way, and tv spot being shot this month. Any advice?

Any layoff happened?

So I received a verbal offer from a company, that is outside of Big Tech. It’s an opportunity for me to finally be in the role of Talent Acquisition Manager, but the salary is lower than what I am currently making. To be transparent it’s $23k less and the bonus is 5% less. Should I counter or be grateful to have received the offer pending layoffs at my company?

How do you not take a layoff due to RIF (involuntary reduction) personally? I was told it is not personal. All full time positions except 1 were let go. Contractors on the team still exist and so does the team. I can’t help but wonder whether performance was a factor and it makes me really sad even after a few months! Any examples of how laying off full time employees over contractors helps with cost cutting? Thanks!

Hello! I updated to the latest version of MUI library for Figma. I’ve noticed quite a few changes (mostly improvements) and had a question. In some of the variant states you’ll see an asterisk. Is this referring to a components default state? I notice that for buttons the Primary color and Medium size have asterisks. Just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something important here.
Thanks!

What's a normal amount of suicidal thoughts?

Anyone read any good books to get you through agency related anxieties (deadlines, overthinking, not feeling confident about your work, burnout)?

I had been going to therapy and had at least some sort of handle on my poor stress coping skills, but all of that has gone out the window now. I’ve never tried taking pills to help manage the anxiety and depression but I think I need it to even begin to let therapy help me. I don’t have a primary care doctor right now, and wanted to know if anybody has used any apps or online services to get a diagnosis and prescription online before? Or any insight at all. Thanks.

I have bipolar disorder and GAD. Not sure how I fell into such a volatile field but know it’s not good for my anxiety or maintaining equilibrium. I’m a little over 40 now and am spent. I wonder if there is a less demanding environment that doesn’t suck the life out of me or the paycheck that I’ve become a bit spoiled by. Anyone ever pivot or take a step back?
