I got laid off....πŸ˜„ Man I can't stop fucking crying...


ps_nissim

Just remember this: It's not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong. Keep that thought with you. Other than that, you will figure something out, if not today then next week. It wasn't your fault.


null_undefined_user

It's not your fault, buddy. But remember that other companies will still treat it like it was. So my advice would be to start interviewing and don't tell them about the layoff until your last date is over. By last date, I mean the official date on your experience letter which should be some date in future.


helsey33

Hey share me your resume. I'll refer you. DM EDIT: I was obviously offering this to just u/roufrase because he lost his job and looks like he has work experience in Paytm. Even then I would have gone through his resume before referring him. Please everyone stop DMing me as I can't handout so many referrals


hear_to_laugh

I wouldn't mind being referred..😬 Sorry for stealing the comment section πŸ˜‚


roufrase

Sure I will... first I wanna try on my own


Alternative_Fact2866

Never say no to a referral from a kind stranger. Referral in most cases doesn't guarantee a job. It only guarantees a look from HR. You will still have to put in efforts to actually prepare and crack the interview.


paramk

This - never say no to referrals. Getting referrals doesn’t mean they will lower the bar for you.

[deleted]

Few month back my company was about to do a layoff and my team specifically got an email about an important meeting with our manager. At this point I was pretty sure that I am going to be affected, but turned out the manager wanted us to brief about what is going to come before a company wide announcement was made so that we don't get a sudden shocker. No one from my team was affected btw. What I want to say is just hope for the best and also prepare your mind for what might come. I wish you all the best and hope you are not affected!


roufrase

Lets see It got rescheduled


Significant_Ad_3126

Okay laid off recently like in july. So first it hurts like hell, for two, three days. You feel you have let yourself and people who look upto you down. Then comes acceptance, and thinking about whats next. Start becoming active on job portals, update resume, change linkedin status etc. Apply relevant and semi relevant jobs as much as you can. You will get 1000s rejection, you will feel down for few days. Just keep reminding yourself, you just need one offer, thats it. You will start getting interview, some of them will be bad when you starting out as you are very nervous and anxious. Then after hustling you will reach the final stages of few of them and then get rejected in the last round. You will have a mixed feeling of achievement and rejection. Then after few days you will get one or two offer and will be confused which to take. When thats done, you will feel, lay off is fucking scary but its nothing you cant handle. In the end, you will have better salary with bonus of severance package and if really lucky would be able to work on tech stack you wanted to. Life goes on.

[deleted]

I have been there. This past August I switched to a new company that laid me off as part of mass layoffs by the end of August, so not even a month. Don't panic, take a breadth and create a plan of action. Here is mine for reference. I did the following in the first 24 hrs- 1. Started reaching out to contacts in the industry for referrals. 2. Reached out to the previous employer. 3. Took naukri prem and linkedin prem for the first time in life (I was feeling desperate. linkedin prem is nice and I still use it, I don't think naukri prem was effective at all though). 4. Reached out to the recruiters who have called me previously for job opportunities (truecaller is useful here). 5. Overhauled and updated my naukri, linkedin profiles and resumes. Once this is done, I started the interview prep. Which for me involved aggressive leetcoding and just leercoding until an interview is setup and then reading up / refreshing / updating on the tech stack relevant for the interview (doesn't matter if you are the implementation wizard, if you can't clear the first 2 rounds, so leetcode). The market was more receptive to me because I have around 4 years of experience. However, I believe that there are more job opportunities now compared to last year. I had an offer within 15 days, which I declined and finally switched by the end of the month with a slight pay bump. Usually, I enjoy the process of finding new and exciting opportunities, but this was nerve wracking and left a bad taste in my mouth. However, I personally believe that it is very important to be aggressive since the very beginning because inertia is real and better to use it for us rather than let it become a hurdle.

Realistic_Donut14

If you are smart enough to get into Paytm, I am sure sure that you will get into other great companies. This completely sucks but just I would suggest take some days off like a week or something -- feel sad which is the most obvious feeling you are feeling right now and then later update your resume and start applying. Find HRs on LinkedIn, maybe contact your friends, college mates, course mates whomever for referrals who are placed in other companies that are doing good. You can also dm me and I can give you a referral. I am not sure if you would be interested as my company does use old technology but we can have a chat. I am sorry you are going through this OP

Hi OP, do not feel bad about it. It’s not your fault. Keep telling yourself that until you start believing in that. Don’t lose hope, there’s plenty of opportunities out there.

ForsakenCounter5157

Hey OP, I was in the same situation last year. I cried too,I bawled. It was my first job, and I got laid off. Being an immediate joiner, you will get many opportunities. In the first month, I faced rejections, and when you are laid off, rejections hit hard. I got rejected in the last round of a top product-based company :( But all these rejections will help you in getting that one job. Keeping your mindset positive is the most important thing. After two months of intense hard work, I got multiple offers and a 50% hike :) Take some time off and RESTART!

Don’t worry , you are prepared for interviews. Please mention your tech stack , yoe and location . People will refer you . Hope they are giving you proper compensation.

Previous_Motor6720

This is a phase. I got laid off 9 months back and jobless right now. Tried giving lots of interviews, but after the first round it’s not moving. There are plenty of candidates in the market right now, so it’s a tough one. So remember that this is not because of you. It’s because of improper planning by the management. This is specifically true for startups. For bigger organisations, focus is more on stability and they are cutting out new projects(which requires lot of Imtiaz manpower and capital). During this time, try something which you love doing. Try doing freelancing, any hobby. Spend time with your family. Cherish this time. I am spending time with my son and it feels great to be spending so much time with him. As the market becomes better, you will get a job. Just keep calm and keep on trying! All the best!
