What would you do if you got laid off from your job today?

I love how most answers start out with fixing the body clock

Our lives are fucked

I would really sleep for like 3days.
Fix up few patterns in life and then get on full hearted job search

Back in 2017 when I was interning at a small startup I bangalore, A tech veteran from the bay area was consulting there part time, once he was in bangalore.
So we got into talking and he gave me one important lesson.

It is always great to work in startups in thr initial stages of your career.
Lot of learning, ownership, sort of college after college which prepares you for everything you would need in your career skill wise, but one thing startups do lack is in giving financial security so always make sure to keep financial safety funds 12 - 18 months if you are single 24 months if you are in your mid 30s

I must say I am very thankful for that lesson. And any fresher seeing this, please take a note.
I don't know much about FIRE but this I have known since last 6 years that companies big or small are not your friend, please plan accordingly

I would stop imagining this scenario

i would first be relaxed. will enjoy life for a week and then maybe look back for another job, but remote this time.

I would go for a month long vacation, fix my schedule. Then look for a better job that pays good and I get respect for what I work.

Sleep. Workout. Chill, relax for a week. Then would do my core concept revisions for 2-3 weeks and then would start my job search.

Go for Bharat bhraman

I would watch Netflix and films for few days and then will start looking for a new role

I’ll go back to my roots and begin farming.
