Folks struggling through acquisitions/re-org, it’s worthwhile talking to recruiters/consulting companies/network and applying to various job openings through LinkedIn/Glassdoor.
I got 2 offers in a single week last month and started my new role this week. 1 from Big Red and another from a Independent operator. The operator matched my old salary and has a higher 401k match and bonus target. No pension. So obviously went with them.
Was let go during Avanti and last year was rough. But can’t say how ecstatic I am.
Was the layoff a good thing or a bad thing? Only time will tell. My family is a lot closer with all the time with the wife and kiddos.
Good luck and try your best to stay positive. Another door will definitely open!
