laid off twice in a year w/ joe previte, sr. engineer
guest: joe previte, senior full stack engineer at mercury
- after a layoff take time to let your head stop spinning before jumping back into the job search
- searching publicly after a layoff can open doors because people start coming to you with opportunities
- build a flexible daily routine that mixes interview calls with prep time and personal time so you do not burn out
- think about non-negotiable parameters like benefits, stability, and family leave before picking your next company size
- be careful about posting too much detail on failures or exact interview stages since companies can use that against you
