Laid off from uncle D recently and eligible for unemployment. Can future employers find out if I receive unemployment? I position myself as "looking for new opportunities" and keep it vague-ish now.

No. They won't find out. All uncle D can say are your start and end dates.

Why would they care if you receive unemployment?

Unemployment insurance is not something employers can look up or care about. Employers pay a tax that funds this benefit.

If you don't take unemployment you're literally leaving money (your money) on the table. If anything, future employers may question your judgment.

Why would you not take the unemployment? There's nothing shameful or negative about it. Also, it's so minimal it's useless, but hey... it's your money that you were paying in while working.

Take the unemployment money. Every time.

Obviously if they can find out I wouldn't take unemployment since I don't want to be outright dishonest.

Sucks man, why did you get let go

You can't take unemployment until the end of the last severance check since you're still on payroll technically.

@S&

Most states delay unemployment until severance and vacation are exhausted + a two week waiting period.

If the OP starts a new job within 4-6 weeks it's unlikely they will need to collect unemployment insurance

Good luck OP this could be a blessing in disguise!

No

Why were you laid off?

Practice?

No, and frankly no one cares that much

I mean employers. They don't care but we do! Take the unemployment OP. Don't give it a second thought.

Doesn't matter. Question they will ask is why they were laid off.

I left my old job the end of January (due to compensation) and hate my new job. I don’t sleep and am constantly stressed. I have been interviewing since May, but I can’t seem to find a good fit that has an insurance Plan that fits my needs. I am thinking about reaching out to my old job (very small and tight knit) to see if there’s a position available for me still. They told me there would be when I left…what is the best way to go about this?

Looking for some advice on a couple of offers I have.

The first offer is for an Account Executive position at a smaller company with a base of $50k and another $20k in OTE.

The second offer is for a BDR position at a larger and faster growing company with a base of $60k and another $20k in OTE. Also some stock options but they aren’t public yet.

I have 2 YOE as a BDR and think I could succeed in either position. Both have hybrid work set ups. Any thoughts or advice is appreciated! Thanks.
