Re:Ask HN: Laid off folks, are you getting hired? by webosdude on Thursday February 09, 2023 @12:51PM (#34728105)
I’m based in SF Bay Area and I was laid off from my Engineering Management position in October. I had MAANG offer at the time which took about 2-3 months when the process started in July. But as they started reviewing budgets it was cancelled even though Recruiter verbally agreed on the number. Then I interviewed with several companies in Oct-Dec. One startup was willing to proceed with VP/Director level offer but the President said he needs to wait until January to get it approved from the board. But they never got back to me. The interviews dried up since mid-Dec and I am still looking. I’m also on H1B so that makes it more challenging.

How are you still here? I thought you had 30 days to leave, abandoning all of your properties indefinitely.

It’s 60-days from your last pay check. I had some severance which extends that period.
