Job search

I am an ML engineer working in a startup. My current situation is horrible,I am constantly stressed about getting laid-off(My performance is good,I got promoted a month ago). I came to know that my company will probably lay people off this month,since they are unable to meet targets. Now,I got rejected in four interviews. There is a lot to learn and revise. Stats and probability. Machine learning algos. Deep learning architectures(got rejected because I was unable to explain the architecture of a complex model in detail). DSA(got rejected twice in this round). SQL (got rejected once since I was unable to solve the SQL problem). ML ops(some recruiters ask this as well). With the added pressure of getting laid off,my whole life is turned upside down.I am unable to focus. Every meeting or discussion I attend I feel like people are evaluating me.( This was not the case before). I don't know what to do. It would really help,if you guys share your interview experiences below.

Been over a month I have been laid off. For the first time in almost 4 years I have had no work at all for over a month. Feels a bit good, a bit relaxed from the immense work pressure and toxicity but at the same time lot of pressure with regard to finances, as and more days are passing. Have been taking time out to upskill myself, applied to over 300+ jobs maybe by now. Got call backs from 10-12, interviewed with 5. None of them turned out to be positive yet. Lot of sympathy and empathised content goes on LinkedIn but reaching out to people, 1/15 may respond, putting a status, people just write CFBR mostly (hence I totally avoided that). Any advice, tips, help would be appreciated. I’m from a non-tech background.

I am seeing lots of startups are firing these days even previous year it was happening. Would like to know the mindset of employees who got saved. Like to know what goes inside your head. How do you deal with this situation as it can happen with who got saved somehow, etc etc

It has been 25 days since I got laid off from the startup that I was working for. I have given a few interviews. Got rejected in 1st or 2nd rounds in a few, went till the last round n rejected in a couple and haven't heard back from the HR in a few. Not hearing back, unanswered calls, delays in rounds etc. cause a lot of anxiety and impacts my confidence and preparation levels. How do I tackle it? Also, unable to find fresh openings in product/ strategy roles for past few days. This also adds to pressure and uncertainty. In short, it is a very troubling phase. How do I deal with it? Need enormous help from all of you folks. Would love to hear some great thoughts / insights / hacks too.

Hi everyone I have been laid off on 9th Feb. Since then got some OA even doing 100%. Most of the them resulted in ghosting. Now I'm in deep financial trouble. Please refer me to your org. I will be very thankful. YOE : 1.7 Leetcode : 1656 Tech : Java spring boot, Angular

Got impacted in the layoff at Sharechat today after working 4+years here. Got the news an hour back and have not shared this with anyone in my family yet. I am sad and have to share this news with my fiancee and in-laws today. Tell them why I have to cancel vacation plans and look out for a job instead. I am into an arranged married and my in-laws are very conservative and don't understand tech work culture, I don't know how they will take the news of a layoff. I'm anticipating they will be shocked, her asshole brother-in-law will even make fun of me. To make it worse the fault is mine for believing I won't be laid off when my company was not doing well. I thought it would not happen to me and never looked out in advance. Fuck 2023. What a shit show Christmas.

Struggling to land interviews. I have been applying for months now. I feel it's very competitive and the bar is higher. Your thoughts? Suggestions to land a decent job in this market. Feeling frustrated and hopeless day by day. Role : Data Analytics & Engineer
