    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!

      Over 20 years for me. Pay is getting too high in the US so companies are doing more with less and offshoring more

      Yes, mostly because of unbelievably high hiring in the last few years with much higher salaries. This needs to come down to balance out.

    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.

    The fact it was a voice message via email, not even a face to face meeting with staff members?!! That is f$%ked up! Usually you get 2 weeks notice of termination but told you last minute?! Did you even get paid out for your annual leave?! 😢

    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.

    It's great that you're using this time to do important things,like updating your résumé. If I may, it would help if you also used this time to set up & have a personal objective that goes beyond the jobs you work. Not sure what field in tech you fall under but something like building a personal app or website or whatever. It will help you stay grounded. Otherwise,keep looking forward.

    The salaries in the tech industry are too high, which is why companies are always trying to cut corners, budget cuts, etc. These tech employees gets so many benefits and company-paid things that other employers never provide. Thus these businesses are always trying to balance their budgets.
