Hey friend! Please try not to panic. Have you posted in the job referrals board? There's also a Toronto board as well. You'll find something!

I was laid off in December 2022 and I’ve found a (much better) job in LinkedIN. There are hundreds of jobs available there. You just have to apply to as many interviews as possible (of course, in companies that you find attractive). Take action and you will be fine soon. 😉
(I’m a Product Manager as well, based in Mexico City and thank God, I was hired at a very good company with a remote job in the US)

That's so amazing to hear. Glad it worked out!

I also use LinkedIn. It can get a bit annoying filling out applications there but it's an easy way to find the hiring managers/recruiters attached to companies you're interested in. Best of luck to you, I'm sure you'll find something soon!

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

After 6 years of temporary contracts and unstable situations, I find my dream job in my dream company. All of a sudden the world goes upside down and I get laid off. I start sending hundreds of applications, with only 2 recruiters getting back to me to say I don’t have experience for the job (this is how it works in Italy). Add a terrible health situation in my family and it seems there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. Ugh. 😞

What is a good interview answer for leaving a job after a few months when the real reason is that you’re sleeping with one eye open in hopes of not being on the chopping block after two rounds of massive layoffs? Company culture is at an all-time low, and it will only go down from here from what I’ve seen in the short months I’ve been there.

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago. Luckily I'm still bringing money in as a software engineer, but I'm looking for advice on how to support a partner who has been laid off. Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
