All the layoff news lately has brought back vivid memories from my past when I was laid off on an H-1B. When I was feeling lost, it helped to know that 80% of people laid off from tech jobs find a new job within 3 months, and 40% within a month.

I wish back then I had these resources to help move forward and find new opportunities. Remember, a layoff is not a reflection of your personal worth, but rather an opportunity for growth and renewal. Drawing from my personal experience, I drafted this 7-stage guide to cope with the emotional fallout and make the most of this change #tech #jobs #careers #work #layoffs #h1b

The guide has curated links to support articles, interview prep, job search, and H-1B visa help which I found very relevant and useful.
