I'm so sorry to hear that you got laid off, I know that you probably feel so scared at the moment not knowing what lies ahead for you. I wish you the BEST!

been in tech 3 decades, never seen it this bad. hang in there.

Wishing you the best Becca. You got this💯 Love your positivity.

Do not wait: apply for any possible job for income. Forget about "dream job". Take what is available, maintain skills at home and keep trying to get back to tech.

"Today will be your last day", it's so crazy to think how easily you're getting fired in the US, zero protection?

As someone who lives in a small town, it blows my mind some of the starting salaries for the jobs you had on your screen. I know the cost of living is higher in big cities but "Data scientist marketing" starts at 152K .... whoa. I always thought IT jobs paid well but damn, if you are making that much you should be able to save enough so you have a comfy nest egg while you look. if not, make that a important thing your next job.

Very sad to hear. these moments will also pass off. keep being positive.

Its just a matter of time. Keep trucking and stay positive. Its the beginning of a new chapter.

Hold on to your teeth people, this layoff season is just getting started

Always be on the job market - you never know what the future holds.

Just got laid off too. I did data analysis previously for a hospital, but left the field. Look into litigation support: very similar skillset and lawyers are always busy.

Learn to drive forklift. I work in tech and do a material handling. Everything is dynamic and not static. Even I have two full time jobs. I still do side hustle because the end goal, you shouldn't be dependent on any employer for paycheck.

Got laid off from my tech job. Good thing that i've had a gut feeling and started doing job interviews couple of months prior. Timed that perfectly - accepted an offer just about the same time layoff news about whole team termination rolled out.
