Well, here we go again.
Well, here we go again.
#1
As I may have mentioned back when they hired me, my current employers are (even after several years) a web startup.  They are periodically given infusions of cash by their parent company as they approach profitability.  (And they are approaching profitability; break-even and beyond was forecast for this quarter.)  However, for reasons best known to them, the parent company stopped funding them today.  And although on the books the company is doing well, this end to funding means they are now dramatically cash-short.  So much so that they had to immediately lay off a third of their staff in order to be able to pay the rest.
So as of about 4:30 this afternoon, EDT, they are now my former employers, and I'm back on the market.
However, things are a lot better than they were in 2009.  And unlike then, I have been getting unsolicited emails from headhunters about very nicely-paying job openings for months now.  And I have an entire job search mechanism in place that I've successfully employed twice in the past few years.  I think I'll be okay, and employed again far more quickly than I was last time.
