Still received msg from people in the industry inviting for CNY lunches. Had to reply had left the company already. Sometimes don't wish to disclose too much and just said I have left the company but I guess people can always infer.

I did msg some close contacts in the industry of my departures and many were encouraging. Hopefully I am able to get some job leads from them in coming weeks.

Any payout?
If ok still fine just look around..
Yes in todays era, contacts very impt

Jiayou!

Seems like quite a number in the past few months.

I'll start
Late 40s. Let go last week. Financial sector. Married with kids but no more loans so not that stressed in terms of financial.

Will take at least a month break to clear my mind and enjoy a well deserved rest. Then look for job after CNY

Was my 2nd retrenchment by the way

[Foetid]

I hope so. In fact I'm half minded to reach out to those contacts immediately as I want to think what are next steps rather than to rush into the first job that comes up. But then again I could be over estimating myself

Ts are u prepared to accept a fifty percent pay cut?

Must be very old bird there ?

Seagate and micron are always retrenching. So seniors shouldn't jump there.
