I got laid off about a month ago. I was confident in front of my family that I will find a job soon, but I was unsure and worried how it would actually unfold considering the economy. However, a month later, landed a job with - Better skill-fitting industry - Better product - Better pay I’m not the smartest person in the room. I’d rather say under average. However, even I was able to make it. Everyone else would simply do it better. Best luck to you all. Peace out. #layoff
YOE? TC? This reads like a creative writing project. So inspirational.
Prime example of survivor bias
So what did you ACTUALLY do to get to that outcome? I really am tired of reading such humble bragging, virtual signaling posts...especially on LinkedIn with a 1001 emojis. Please share something useful and practical.
This, lol. Post like this are quite literally pointless and do more damage than good. It's borderline gaslight. "I found a job.... YOU SHOULD TOO" You really are "under average" if you find this post remotely helpful or motivating, OP
I reached out to every friends I have and asked for referrals. Then I did below 1. Redo my priorities 2. Understand what got me laid off and not my colleagues 3. Organize my outputs in numbers for clarity 4. Ask my former colleagues to testify my performance
I would like to be layoff as well 😪

Better product than Dropbox? Doesn’t every company fit this bill :P
Its not that bad actually. Pretty niche but its a solid product.
I had to quit my job....and I found 2 better offers within a month. Was only 4 days without a job.
A lot of timing can depend on the line of business and type of work you do.
Also most people struggling are faang layoffs trying to find similar pay. There's a bajillion jobs out there for 150-200tc.
Congrats.
I was let go too and ended up increasing my TC by 25% with full work from anywhere.
Happy for you!
You joined Hinge or let go from it?
I don’t know why I continue to be surprised about so many who log on just to be negative. Every. Single. Comment. You’ve gotta be a really hateful turd to perceive this as a bad thing. I was laid off last week. Your first two sentences are relatable. I’m happy for you and appreciate your humility. It’s ok - even, dare I say, good - to be happy for someone. Even when you’re not happy with yourself. Even if your personal situation sucks. Being kind is free. Everyone, please continue to post your wins. Ignore the rest ✌🏽
Right sometimes we need inspiration not loss of hope.
How many YOE do you have OP? Are you a SWE? The more experience you have the easier it gets I feel.
Less then 10 YOE and yes, I am a SWE. I just had the exact skills and experience which the role required.
And what your tc
