I have 3.5years of experience as manual QA and API testing (postman)
I just got laid off. Not sure what to do now.
Should I search and apply for jobs right away, or should I learn a new (in demand) skill and look for jobs?
Skills I'm interested in:
Information security
Product management
Web development

Is it feasible to learn a new skill at this stage? Will I land a job after that?

Mulling over an offer to join Industry (Banking) - salary match at VP level (10+YOE) + discretionary bonus (FO role) + better WLB.

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting since joining this platform. I’m interested in connecting with someone who is open to HR mentoring.

Even if it’s for feedback, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
