Laid off while on paternity leave and I’m feeling hopeless. I apply to every product job I can find even though they are well below what I was making, and title, but with no replies or canned denial letters. I don’t know how much longer I can go like this, and it’s unfair to my newborn to basically abandon him for hours at a time while I apply into the void. Does anybody have product roles they are looking to fill on their company sites I can get a referral for? I’m good at what I do..

Hey Director, how do you feel about Program Management Leader roles? Do you have experience and depth with PMO and PgM interfacing with Prod / Eng? If so, what’s your comfort level? I see a role open on my company’s career page and would be willing to see if there is a fit. Must have Fortune 500 experience.

@Prodoct Director 1 Thanks for your response. Please go through my linkedin profile and I have extensive experience in PgM collaborating with Prod and Eng working with Google and Intel. Please see if you could refer me to positions.

Any severance payout? If not, then can you collect unemployment? That's what I did and that, along with my wife's income, covered us until I got my next, much better job. To qualify, I had to prove that I was discharged. Never had to appeal fortunately. Worth a look!

Sorry to hear. Are you looking with optimized search on Linkedin and/or working with recruiters? I had a combination of luck and experience to go through 2 to 3 interview rounds at 5 companies until the offer came and I accepted. Best full-time hybrid role by far. That took me 2.5 months.

Watch your newborn while applying, soothe each other from crying. Quantity over quality at this point. Lean on the spouse to help you keep it together,if they are good then they will love you extra.

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Been searching for work for about 2 months now, and I can’t tell what companies are looking for anymore. I have 2+ years as an AE full cycle. And I get rejected left and right. My resume is up to date, I’m applying non stop, what else can I do?

I am paying PF of amount 2040 getting deducted 2 times from my salary 1st according to CTC and after salary is getting credited then again same amount is deducted, so my question is this correct.
CTC is: PF+ 76185
Salary is: 76185-PF.
PF: 2040 so it's getting deducted 2 times same amount every month. Before salary is paid and after.
