How should I spend time before I probably get laid off?
Almost 5 years at meta, started as E3, E5 now, had a lot of good GEs the last several cycles but got screwed on last years review unfairly for a MM My org is gonna be around but I’m sure I’ll be a easy layoff candidate. About me 26, turning 27 later this summer NW : on and off of 780-820K (depends on market) Estimated severance payout $130K (60-70K after tax) No financial responsibilities. I used to have to take care of my mom but that is now fully taken care of and she’s going to be fine moving forwarded I think I’m okay with whatever the result is and not sure if I’d want to rush into just having another job. I was thinking I’m going to spend a lot of my free time on side some projects, content creation etc. Would love to hear from other folks on how I can best utilize my time before/ after the layoff
Why don’t you start a business?
That is a good question. I was thinking content creation + some side projects or ideas to get some MVPs out the door are how I want to approach this. I am particularly passionate about taxes, FIRE, personal finance, etc and have some ideas of things I want to put out and continue working on. Outside that I feel like I don’t know what’s a business I could kick off and bootstrap so that I can maybe make $1-2K a month in the early days. Any suggestions how I can expand my mind here?
Oh I totally agree. It’s going to take months of work to get anywhere near successful
Learn more about personal finance, investing (including bonds), taxes, retirement accounts, health insurance options when not employed, etc.
Actually this is a hobby of mine I love and I wanted to do some content creation and side projects here The health insurance when unemployment and all that is a great call that I’m terrified about lol
What interests you? Maybe get a gym / exercise habit down.
I got ripped last year (like 8-10% body fat) - plans to go back on the grind for the summer! I was thinking New sport though
Also I love personal finance, cooking and done a lot of time on those. Being my own boss / starting even a small business is something I am trying to get closer to
