If you have always wanted to start up or build your own product, consider the layoffs a blessing in disguise. That is, of course, assuming that you have the means to weather the financial challenges of not having a job. Make arragements for either savings that will last a year, or move back with parents depending on where you are in life at present. I was single and unmarried in 2008. Was working in a startup that made an innovative new kind of ads (SMS ads!!). Was laid off and spent the next year building the next TechCrunch. It flopped, of course, and I moved back to a day job later. But I would have never made that move had I not been fired. My personal circumstances are different today and would not make such a move now. But if you are young and financially-covered, you should see that as an opportunity. |
