Was laid off from Big Tech after working nights, travelling around the world for the company and giving everything I could to keep my job.
The job market seemed dead, also I was competing with around 500+ people that were laid off as well with me... luckily(!!!) I've found a new job after only 2 weeks.
The compensation is lower, but it's fine. Europe compensation for developers sucks in comparison to North America :-(
My new job is in a small company, but really nice. Cool people, laid-back and interesting. I really like it.

- thiago_fm 3y agoIndeed, after a layoff I tried to avoid even interviewing at those "AI for Y" companies that had their cash flows entirely based on VCs and investors.
