Recently laid off by my employer with a mortgage. My manager rushed me to move closer for the job although we were working remote, I had a TX address but was working from my parents home. I’ve applied to 150+ jobs no interview, any advice?! Looking to pivot from tech but still open since I have a mortgage.

Def invest in a professional resume writer. Finding work in the tech salary range. I’m sure you want to pivot but not pivot the pay. I did this when I first got laid off out of my severance pay. They are experts in how to take the current skills and align them with the new opportunities. Mine did resume cover letter & LinkedIn profile. 90 percent of the roles I apply to call me unless it’s out of my salary range. The best $750 I spent.

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off. Additionally I’ve had a couple interviews where company “X” interviewers have commented on this and in an effort to not bad mouth my previous employer I’m stuck with a generic answer like I want to take my career to the next level with Company “X.” Any thoughts/advice?

The week of my wedding, my husband (PL SQL Developer 4 yoe) was laid off. That was a couple of weeks ago.

Ultimately I think we will be ok, but I know he's hurting / stressed / and could use a supportive partner.

Hi, received an offer from another Big4 in Amsterdam (currently working in Eastern Europe), but relocating, I’m concerned about potential layoffs in the coming period being the last to join the team.

Is anyone working somewhere with a hiring freeze right now? I started this job about 6 months ago and I'm worried I'll be the first one out now that they're officially pausing. Should I be looking for another job, and how much will this affect my resume if I get laid off?
