In times of stressful transitions, I have always told myself "I always end up in a better place". Whether it's more money or a chance to learn new skills, this has always been the case. Just keep working hard, learn new skills and adapt to whatever life throws at you. As the Rolling Stones so eloquently put it, "You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need."

"Life is more than a Broadcom offer letter."

I wish life was that simple for many. Word of Wisdom from a very privileged state.

At a time when everyone else is laying off, when the market is flooded with unemployed talent, when people are facing deportation.

That's like people saying "money doesn't buy everything!" like a wizened sage. Correct, but it buys the things that make life livable!

Many of us have been here before even if the communication is the worst I have ever seen. However we will all get through this. The world doesn’t end because of Broadcom.
