Laid off tech workers quickly find new jobs

    You’re going to have to grind Leetcode. Yes, even the dynamic programming problems.

    You will have to interview for jobs where you will use a language you despise. Maybe even Java. Definitely Javascript.

    You might need to commute to the office again. Perhaps every day!

These were the best lines of your article. I laughed at the dynamic programming quip. :)

A lot of people view this stuff with cynicism but I found the leetcode practice to be useful, and learning new languages to be useful. Fun too! But I'm still young at 44....

Commuting though, oh no...

I think it’s fine, I wish they would just do one interview about that stuff though. Having to get lucky enough to solve 5 in a row is just cruel
