Listen up layed off peeps

I have recently been layed off from my current company and I'm going to start my hunting process again.

How much time did it take for you to find a new job? Because I'm really freaking out. This is my first time.

And what are some common approaches you take for quick conversions? Comment below

What is yoe? Why still hunting? One of senior developer who works under me got job, he is not talented either. I am surprised why does it take so much time?

Was laid off in December. It was a bad experience mentally, worked so hard and was let go in a snap.
Took me a month's time to get 2 offers. Possibly the situation wasn't as bad as it is now. Plus I had saved enough to take for rainy days

Suggestion: Don't freak out. You are not the only one in this situation and it won't last for long(hopes). If possible, go and travel. Comeback afresh. Brush up for interviews again.

I got laid off a few weeks ago and I'm in dire need of motivation.

Pls share your story about how you bounced back after being laid off. How long did it take for you to land a comparable position?

Thanks!
