Its been several weeks since layoff and on H1-B, no much savings / reserves left to fight the market / hiring delays (single earner never done moonlighting ). I am so depressed about my career and my family assurance. I don’t feel like giving up but getting psychologically impaired with rejections, Is there something possible to settle things for at least family members financial security.

I feel you, I'm going through a similar situation. I've never experienced anything this bad since joining the workforce many years ago. I'm hoping just like many of us that January will open a few more doors. Try to hang in there!

Hi everyone. I was a solution engineer at Oracle. I graduated from college in May and this was my first job out of college so the lay offs were pretty rough. I majored in Supply chain management and I have 2 internships under my belt. Do you guys have any advice or tips on what to do moving forward? I would like to stay in tech and I’m giving it a few weeks before I start pivoting to more traditional supply chain roles. Thanks.
