I’d like to close the loop on this and thank everyone who shared the above post and offered support.

I’ve accepted an offer, and next week, I will be starting a new job.

In my 25+ year career, this was the first time I’ve ever been laid off. It was humbling and the most stressful three-and-a-half months of my life.

I know many others are going through similar experiences, and I was privileged to have resources and savings to keep me afloat during this time. (1/2)

I know others are not so fortunate, and many have been out of work far longer than I was. I cannot imagine how I would have kept it together much longer.

Give everyone a healthy measure of grace. It’s rough out there.

If I can be of help to anyone (e.g., networking/contacts, advice for resumes/interviews/job offers, referrals, etc.), feel free to ask. I will try to help where I can. (2/2)

@ramsey Congratulations. That's an excellent news 😌

Please share more detailed information and your experience.

1. How and where have you searched for a new position?

2. Did you search for a job in a US-based company only?

3. What was working and what was not (networking, GitHub projects, being an open-source developer)?

4. How much time do you spend daily or weekly? Which activity took most of the time?

5. Did you get helpful feedback from recruiters? What did they say?

Thanks 💪
