Childcare or eldercare

Second this, childcare especially since it pays well and there isn’t an expectation of medical knowledge like with elder care.

OP, what is your situation? One second you’re saying “if” then “when.” First off, start by only paying minimum on any debt. You should be in survival mode right now.

If you can’t land something design try a grocery store, Amazon delivery, or maybe a Census worker. I had a friend just get hired on for the latter and although temp, $17.50/hr is better than nothing.

Maybe use any additional free time you have to learn a new skill (coding, UX design, video editing, maybe a new language, etc.)

$17.50 is what I'm making now😅

Good luck OP. My current attitude is: if government is going to shut down the economy my student loans and rent are not getting paid.

It’s like they don’t know what to say or I make them feel awkward so they don’t bother…I’m trying to focus on a few that have been supportive but it’s hard…Any words of advice? 😞

You name it, I’ve probably done it. Team management exp but not required in next role.

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.
