I got laid off last year, it was pretty rough. Took a couple months to work on some projects and my wedding which was nice. But then it took about 3-4 months of intensive job hunting.

Tons of ghosting companies, lowball offers, etc. Maybe it was just vibes from it being the mass layoff era, but it also felt like the interview processes at a lot of places became a lot more unpleasant than usual.

It's not a fun time to be looking. To anyone who's still on the pointy end of a layoff, good luck and don't get too down on yourself.
