Facebook/Google/Twitter/Microsoft how long it took for job after layoff.

I just got laid off from a Small Startup, its been one week looking for job but no luck so far. Either I am getting calls from consultancy with really low rate or no call at all. I applied almost 50 plus jobs so far. Just wanted to gather some data points on recetly laid off folks, did you had to wait long time. Did you had to give up lot of previous TC. I have about 11 years of Full Stack Software Engineering experience mostly in NodeJS and React. My TC was 225k so looking around same range. Let me know if anyone has referral as well. TechStack: NodeJS, React (Prefer Backend Node) YOE: 11 yrs Full Stack very much interest in ML/AI python but have not done anything there yet. Thank god, I have no VISA issue, have enough saving for 6 months. Looking for Remote Only. Atlanta Based. Prefer 40-45 hrs week WLB. Edit 1: My Networth is about 1 Million mostly in Crypto plus stocks, 401k and home equity. I have 6 months of emergency fund after that will need to liquidate things which I dont want to. #engineering #software #swe #google #facebook #amazon #microsoft #layoff #lookingforjob #startup

There are few teams in my knowledge which are remote and about the number range they really pay well

I don’t think you need to worry too much given you’re at least senior. Market is brutal but companies are still hiring for senior+ If you want my data point, 1 month in got my first offer. 2 months in now got 5 offers in total. (Failed 2 on-site, 1 phone screen). Before interviewing I took 1 month full time to prepare (LC & SD) It’s just a number’s game. Head up and you can do it OP

Thank you so much, I appretiate it and I was looking for exactly this kind of answer. Did you had bump in TC or had to compromise, also assuming its fully remote.

Twitter hjj889 Feb 26, 2023

having multiple offers made negotiation easy. So i actually had increase in TC. But note earlier offers when I didn’t have leverage recruiters tried hard to lowball. Having the second offer completely changed all the following dynamics, including for interviews because I’m much more relaxed and performed much better

Interos is hiring—could be a match.
