Moved here for an opportunity. The "agency" focus is on sports and the first round of layoffs happened this past week. I dont plan to stay to see myself and my department laid off. Wondering where should I go next, Ive got plenty of experience and I'm more than happy to send my book if needed. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Why would you not wait and see what happens? It doesn’t hurt to start looking, but I’d also wait and see.

Doesn't seem like either sports or our Covid-19 situation is going to change. Not soon, and now that I have a kid and a home, I've got to be twice as careful.

Why is “agency” in quotes? Did it turn out to be a multi-level marketing pyramid scheme?

If you need a partner let me know. I moved out here at the beginning of the year and right as I was making progress with interviews COVID hit.

I’m trying to find a gig but they’re few and far between. Figured maybe partnering up could help!

Bakery (although I wasn’t really feeling that spot), R/GA, GSD&M and I had a few leads that felt like they were heading towards interviews but yeah. Now, who knows.

Looking for respectful ways to manage helping people in need of a job or seeking mentorship. I get 3-4 requests a week from mutual contacts asking if I can connect with a former colleague (always broad). Typically the ask is a 30-45 min call. I’ve been laid off, I know how hard a time it is, but equally am working long hours, parenting and want to reserve time for those I know. How do others manage these extra calls into their weeks?

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

What is the process for negotiating a job offer (from a firm or otherwise)? Do you have to be ready to ask for more salary/bonus/other perks right when they call you to make the offer, or can you ask for time to consider and then call back with your additional requests?
