3 months exactly from the day I found out I’d be getting laid off to the day I got a call from the recruiter at my current company to let me know they wanted to give me an offer. It’s not easy for sure and I had to grind and hustle like to get to this point but trust me, this is the best thing that has happened to you career-wise! You’re going to get a better understanding of what you want to do and kill it when you start applying for jobs since you also have all that extra time to prep for interviews unlike your competitors :) Just make sure you do important things first like filing for unemployment, getting healthcare, making a budget for yourself and a job application game plan!

Don't worry about things which aren't in your control. Prepare the best cv as you can, give you best in interviews and everything else will work out.

Also if you’re on visa you have a limited number of days you’re allowed to be unemployed so completely changes the dynamic of how fast you NEED to get a job

I haven’t been laid off but I may be able to help you in your search. DM me if you want to connect.

Trying to sell, eh? Smart. Lol

Honestly, it’s been tough. I got laid off during COVID too. No luck yet...

So… 3.5 year relationship came crashing in Jan due to covid depression, work burn out, lockdown etc. We have stayed in contact and recently he has come around to apologizing and considering getting back together. However he also revealed he started seeing someone casually 4 weeks ago and technically is cheating on her by meeting me for coffee and to discuss this. I’m upset that he’s dating others but shouldn’t be right? I mean, I did the same. Still hurts though. And I told him to sort that out

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline?

Compared to 40-50% in other places. Crazy hours feb-apr, 40 apr-jul, 45 in Aug, maybe 50-60 that last week of aug/ early sept. <40 post 9/15. We have a need at the senior level to fill a gap.
