I have 18 months of savings available if I got laid off. If you were me, how much time would you give yourself to find a new job?

Personally I’d start looking right away as it can take months to find the job that’s right and not stress too much

19 months. Always push yourself.

I would take a 1-2 month break, interview everywhere until offer in hand, and then push the start date off as long as possible. Eliminates the potential for someone to ask about gap in resume

3-6 months in this market

24hrs

At least 6 months and I’d take that time to travel or do whatever you want

ASAP with this market tbh

12 weeks if you are willing to take anything. 6 months if you are working while looking. As such, 'benchmark' every 6 months.

3 - 6 months

Two months! One month for travel, the other to relax

I am not sure what to do. My company just had another round of massive layoffs. So far my job was spared. I do got a job offer from a different company but the salary is way lower than what I have now (20,000$ less). Should I choose for financially stability but with a lower salary, or take the risk, keep the higher salary, but have a high chance to loose it as the company isn’t doing great.

Feeling so down right now…I spent months trying to get into a tech company. And when I finally got in, I was then laid off two months into the job. This past month, I applied to 300+ jobs and had 30+ interviews. None of them led to offers due to hiring freezes or internal hires. I just went through 10 interviews with a non-tech company and I don’t know if I will get an offer. I am just so tired of everything. If anyone knows of any PM roles (hardware/software), please let me know. YOE: 2

While negotiating the offer the recruiter came back to me and said "We’re working through headcount planning right now. The position you applied to is closed". Looks like a hiring freeze. Does this mean layoffs are coming up? What about the candidates (like myself) who cleared HC and was in negotiating process?

My husband and I worked together at the same company for a year in different departments and they laid off 25 employees last week. My husband was one of them. 💔
It was dealt with poorly and severance benefits were bad compared to other companies we are seeing in the media. I’m really struggling to move forward and heal. The priority is for me to support him finding a new job but I just feel sick giving my time and energy to this company when they did this to us. any advice for strength😔
