From a startup after 4 months from joining. Was glad to be laid off, the product was absolute shit and had no future.

Why did you join?

Startup failed. So it was either I was let go or I left on my own. So I left on my own.

Never laid off, never quit. This is not a good thing; I now have zero job hunting skills.

My best advice is keep learning new technology. My dad was at a military company for 30 years. He was trashed during the job hunt after a layoff because he had a narrow skill set

I used to work in games. Getting laid off is a rite of passage.

It only sucks the first time. After that, it's a chance to get double paid for a month or two.

I got laid off and then rehired. Lol. I'm trying to jump ship now, not walk the plank again.
