I just got laid off and I just don’t know what to say “if” I ever get an interview. Any tips would be appreciated. I know when you get laid off, no one wants to hire you.

Sorry you’re going through this. But the good news is - as a hiring manager for many years I can tell you that layoffs didn’t necessarily reflect poorly on the candidate. Usually the cause of layoffs are company restructuring or strategy related, not performance related. If that’s your circumstance make sure you convey that during your interview process. Good luck!

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development.

I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.

I'm at a boutique in a niche industry, so just unsure of what would have drawn him to my profile.

Is this legal? My spouses company just decided to change their comp structure for account managers.

So now they have to worker harder to get $50k they were already making. (Not a decision based on employee performance, they’ve been crushing it. I think the company is just trying to save money they overspent else where)
