Apply like crazy. Come up with a unique pitch for how you can solve problems in these circumstances and email agency recruiters and leadership directly. And good luck!

What’s the alternative? If you don’t try...then what?

Yes. To both. If you have a year’s worth of savings then yeah, take time off.

Apply to whatever you find but know that most agencies are on a hiring freeze for now.

Hi Fishes,

How is the

Got laid off today. Ironicly is I have been looking for a new job for over a year. I guess it's good that I no longer work in a toxic environment & no longer for a criminal. Heartburn from anxiety.

Tech companies are mostly built up of 22ish-40ish year olds (not data, just how it feels) which makes sense as tech has been booming for only 20ish years. What happens in the next 10-20 years when the ones who are older for tech now, become actually old for the workforce. Do we get phased out by young people due to lack of relevancy? Or will we have 50-60 year old SAAS sales people, project managers, etc, still in the space and about to retire?
