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!
