Me Tuesday: “ok well I’m going to use this layoff to get a lot of projects done around the house, turn this negative into a positive, hell yeah!”
Kiddo: “wheeee no school for 1.5 weeks for spring break”
Ah beans. Guess we’re gonna play some Pokopia together instead.
@niclake Yeah similar here, though my wife does have some work cleaning houses. At least we still have basic medical covered by the socialized health insurance here, thats gotta be a whole other level of stress.
@sabbatical Last time it was just me. Now that I have a toddler to care about too, it’s so much worse.
@niclake sucks man. what’re you looking for? dev i guess, right? but anything else? or any particular strengths or niche you are aiming for? remote only?
@sabbatical Remote unless it’s in my specific area yeah.
Lead/senior eng roles - I’m full stack with a backend focus, been using Ruby for the last 7 years
Also looking to break in to the Eng management space, or pick up more Business Analyst work again if that’s what presents.
@sabbatical it’s rough out there for sure, especially as the only income source / insurance.
