Not laid off but I've just ended a year long sabbatical. Looking for work now is a terrible experience. A lot of ghosting, recruiters absolutely useless, agencies not looking for new talent. I have done two dozen interviews, twice as many resumes sent to interested recruiters, and only one offer, which I was not very excited about and declined. I'm focusing on my SaaS project, and trying to market myself outside the box instead of the old resume as my 16 years long career doesn't seem to impress anyone. Sorry, I will not elaborate further as you're all my competition here.
