i'm a software dev. i got layoff many times before. what i do is lower my salary requirement to get a job then start looking for a job with better pay within 6 months to a year so it doesn't look like i'm job hopping.
- nelsoch 3y agoI have an intimate familiarity with a wide breadth of both hardware and software. Working on pre-production products and supporting post-production to customers has required us to be flexible to new requests, per contract. My current salary is really low for the industry- I've been willing to take paycuts so that I can provide, so I've applied to such positions. But I still get turned down.

- nelsoch 3y agoThe ability to be a human swiss army knife has allowed me to survive all the waves of layoffs(publicly-noticed and otherwise) up till now. When I was a stand-in manager interviewing people a year ago- I was told afterwards that my questions were too intense for what they were _then_ looking for. At that point, it got me wondering why they were setting the bar so low when I was previously being grilled and nearly passed.
