Apply using the YC portal. And ask them for a referral if there's any connection.

Update: your suggestions really helped and I was able to secure some interviews through the platform. Have accepted an offer(not from yc though) now. 
  
 Thank you so much!

Probably if they'd controlled their cost this wouldn't have been the case. Letting go is the new raising funds in 2023.

Well, they have been very frugal, no office, no fancy parties. Just got another round of funding in Apr. The team is very lean. 
 Not trying to defend but I'm unhappy because this was very sudden and we had conversations like "2 years of stability" when having our 1:1s during appraisals last month.

What looks nice on the outside is probably crap on the inside...

I'm not sure whether it's possible or not. Check with your manager whether you can join another organization as soon as you receive an offer (that satisfies you). If that's a possible option, try to pitch yourself as available to hire within a week (readily available to join). This may help unexpectedly

I've already discussed this with them and they have allowed me for an early resignation.

Hi folks,

I got laid off today from a YC-backed startup (W23) citing a shift in product focus. Was part of the core team since Oct '21, initially as an intern then later converted to FTE in '22. Got a decent (30%+) increment this year. I was leading the mobile platform but currently, I'm on a notice period. CTO is supportive and helping me via their network.

I'm a recent graduate and this is my first time experiencing a layoff. What should I do now? What things should I keep in mind looking for the next opportunity?

Got laid-off from a YC backed startup- Grapevine

Last year March, I was hired as Growth & Marketing Lead in one of the companies abroad at 30LPA (Remote). Now, they are shutting the project I’m in and have received a notice. 

I’m a Marketer by profession with expertise in 0-1 growth in startups. I’ve 8 YOE. Now the problem is, 0-1 startups in India can’t afford me easily and other startups say I don’t have experience in series B and further kind of startups. 

If 0-1 have got good funding amount, they still want to hire someone who has experience of scaling Series A and further kind of startups. 

The basic chicken and egg problem. 

Although I’m trying to apply for the companies abroad, I’m super confused what should I do now. I’ve emergency funds to sustain 3 months but don’t want to rely on that.

Being Laid Off. What should I Do next?

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

I was recently asked to resign/layoff along with 40% of the engg and product function at the org with 1 month pay.
I have 1 yr in Fintech Product M and 3 years in Travel tech.

How the hiring situation like right now? Anyone currently looking please share.
Referrals appreciated.

laid off, how’s the market?

Guys & gals, I've been put on 3 months notice. Been working from home, my company (a startup) suddenly wants me to come to the office but I can't relocate immediately due to financial & familial responsibilities, so they're laying me off.

I have 2.5 yoe with Angular, but am extremely interested in learning other tech too (React/Vue/any other frontend framework, mobile dev with React Native/Ionic, Node/Go for backend). I'm confident that I'll be able to pick stuff up quickly with a bit of time & support.

Prefer WFH but I'm open to relocation if the offer is good enough.

Would appreciate any leads 🙏 I'm the sole earner in the family and the news has shaken me up mentally. Things are tense at home because of the strained finances. Been applying from the past 2 weeks but no calls yet (early I know, but still). At this point I'll take any opportunity to keep afloat.

Laid off unexpectedly, desperate for referrals (frontend/fullstack)

Any suggestions how to get back to previous  salary?

Due to financial situation and sudden layoff, I had to join in some company for 25Lpa to support my family, my previous is 37.5Lpa

Hii, I'm a front-end developer having around 3 years of work experience. I got laid-off in 2023 just after 1.8years in an organisation. Then I joined another company and got laid off in 6 months. Now I have an offer from early stage startup but I'm too scared to accept it because of my experience. But on the other hand I don't have any offer as well. Will it look bad on my resume. I don't know... I've started thinking that something is wrong with me otherwise what is the chances of getting laid off twice within same year. 
First I loose my peace of mind because of work pressure and then I loose my work... pretty f**cked up situation.
I have never been this unde confident. 
What do you think shall I take the offer from startup again or wait few more months or more to get into good mnc??

2 Layoffs in 2 years

Heyy fellow developers, 
It's 23 engineering graduate from top college in bengaluru. I got an internship+ fte offer from Australian based SaaS startup. 
For these 6 months I have given my day n night to this job only to get to know that due to no projects in pipeline they are not going to convert any of the interns to full time.

Hi, anyone hiring for growth / strategy roles? Please help. Laid off 3months ago

Business Development Manager

Hey there
I am a 2021 graduate. Have worked for 1 year in an ed-tech giant and another year at a startup.
Had a brilliant time in startup, learnt a lot and enjoyed every bit of it until couple of months back, when there were layoffs and some part of the team was asked to leave.
Now I don't enjoy working here because of high amount of work, no wlb and no people to chill with and planning to switch. But with current market scenarios not sure if that's the right choice.
I am also thinking to do an MBA next year probably from tier 1 tier 2 colleges. 
What according to you would be the best path or what you'd have chosen to do here?
