I've been interviewing with some companies, and now I have to decide between JPMorgan Chase and Globant.
Globant is more innovative, and has remote work. I will enter to work with a Sillicon Valley startup based in San Francisco. The tech stack is React, Nextjs, AWS, and a serverless architecture.
JPM is semi remote, and less innovative. The tech stack Java, SpringBoot and AWS. But I'd do more migration tasks, like dockerize projects and pass them to kubernetes. What would you choose?
Interviewing with Facebook (Meta) soon and have some questions about the mobility and career progression if I am coming in as a product specialist and want to move in to pm work. Anyone with any insights on what the average time for promotions or how hard it is to move to other areas within Meta after joining?

I’m sorry! I sympathize, I was let go 2.5 months ago from a job (I just dont want to use my name on here so am using my previous job title) that I busted ass at for 5 years. I’m worried for when unemployment is going to stop…it said on avg people only get 2-3 months 😥 I haven’t had a single interview yet either. Just rejection emails. And then still seeing the job postings I was rejected from up and availabke for weeks after I got told “we have better candidates” 😑
Florida Unemployment is only 12 weeks a year. And at $275 max a week. How the hell do you live on thT while finding a job at 60?
Florida horrible with this. Do better Florida
I totally get where you are coming from. I worked for my previous company for almost 15 years. I was wrongfully terminated. Meanwhile I am trying to find representation and also look for a new job. It has been 5 months for me. I am slowly going insane. I have no savings anymore either. Just scared really. My sleep is non existent and every day that goes by I try my best to find work. Things are so impersonal these days. All I can say is don't give up. Keep your chin up. You will find something. You are worth so much more than you think.

Having spent close to 4 decades in management, have YOUR OWN plan. The programming and manipulation of ‘perform’ance reviews and ‘going above and beyond’ is a lie. Take advantage of all the FREE training online - YouTube, etc. Employees are one of the most expensive line items on the P&L statement. Take care of YOU.
I'll add to my comment. If you're searching for positions on job search engines, don't apply through those as many employers don't really look at those websites, go directly to the company's website and apply directly with that employer. (I found this out the hard way. I had applied on the ad on Indeed and waited almost 3 weeks without hearing anything, so I searched my company's website and applied directly with them and they responded the very next week.
Today's trend, especially with Millenials and GenZ is not to stay at a job for longer than 3 years without a promotion. Otherwise you will be questioned why by recruiters.

Now I am at 220k
Similar here... over 9 years and got laid off when the company was acquired. Almost 11 months later I too am still searching for a job. I worry that age discrimination is a big part of the problem - I'm in my 50s and I can't even hide it due to having only a few long-term jobs on my resume. That said, I've been adjusting my resume regularly and have finally started to see some action, one of which that may result in a job soon, so I'd suggest rewording and overall reworking your resume. Pass it through any resume checkers you can find or have other people check it. Something's off and with all the automation it may be enough to get your resume kicked out of the system before anyone gets to see it.
I'm so sorry this happened to you. I have experienced this myself, I worked for a big box store for almost 19 years, saw the writing on the wall many times and thought "it can't happen to me, I'm irreplaceable". Yep, they found a way. I felt like I'd been handed divorce papers from an unfaithful spouse: it broke my heart.
But looking back, it was the best thing that could have happened to me. I should have left several years before I was let go, but like you, I was faithful and loyal. I found another company and learned a lot about myself and what I'm capable of becoming. 10 years later, I'm running a store at my dream job.
Toss your net in another pond and see what you catch. (Look for another position in a different field that might be similar to what you did before and see what happens.) There are so many places that are looking for great people and you might find your dream job too.
There is no need to show loyalty to a given employer anymore. They care less of your personal situation and what you have done in the past. It is all about what you have done for me lately. You keep your resume updated all the time after each project and stay connected with colleagues and friends to get a pulse of the market . It is rough out there with allot of layoffs and competition for fewer open positions. You have to stay positive from a long term perspective and eventually things will work out even though you want it now.
So sorry. Its hard. Im on 4 months and took a 59 1/2 401K withdrawal. Started doing ride share
If you were laid off, you are entitled to unemployment benefits. There is no reason as to why you cannot obtain benefits.
Take heart! my project ended in 2021 October. It was a good paying job I must say and an exceptional INGO at that. The benefits were excellent. Since then, I have been struggling to get and equivalent opportunity. Some organization fear my qualification. I thank God I have had saved enough and the benefits from the organization have been keeping me going. But am still hopeful. It's not an easy path for any human being and we keep fighting.
I’ve been through the same. Lesson learned, you are replaceable. So move accordingly. Always save as much as you can. And do what you need to do to create your own opportunities. Home and craft your skill. And if you need something to seed your dream do it focus on it, and create it.
Hi I'm from Sudbury Ontario - I too, understand your pain - as soon as I was laid off I applied for E.I. then I apply for Social Housing. Then I went to the library and got a list of all employment recruiters and attended all the programs which they offered. Then I volunteered my time and the time at home I job searched till I couldn't look at the screen anymore. I put out over 3,000 resumes and it was thru the networking I did where I got a job. This one person talked to another person who set up an interview with me. Here's a enjoyable tip watch the movie: "she devil" with Rosanne Bar (comedy about finding a job)
