I was just placed in a PIP (performance improvement plan) understandable because I have a side business that I am running so I don’t give my “All” to my day job

My plan for the next 45 days is to put my side business in the back burner, do my best through the PIP and start applying/interviewing for jobs.

On today’s job tough market how long would it take me to find a job? 2-3 months? Any other advice on my game plan? Thank you!

I’m in media/ad tech here and was laid off mid-Nov. I just received an offer this past week so it was a 2-2.5 month process. However, subtract 2 weeks for holidays so my time minus holidays to secure and offer was about 2 months, even with tech layoffs.

I was let go from a big tech company in November. Had an offer by Christmas. Might be a bit longer now that the layoffs have picked up but if you’re a good candidate I’d say prob 2ish months from start to offer signed

That’s dumb. So if I’m worth $300K and willing to work for $250K it’ll still take me 2 years to find a job?

Looking for advice, is it a bad idea to take a chance on an early stage startup (20 FTEs) in our current economy or go for it? I'm currently interviewing for a head of product role, and really torn about the timing.

Added context, they raised about $4M in seed funding and the founders say they're overcommitted for their series A which is currently being closed. I've been in product for 7 years, definitely feel equipped to do the job, but would like to stay at least 1.5-2 years if I do this.
