Getting Fired and How did/to [you] deal with it?

Hey guys, I know this can be a sensitive subject but I think it's worth discussing.

I have been let go once (nonsales role) it was miserable time and what was worse that family keeps on using that time to remind me that I shouldn't take risks and just stay in w/e company for good portion of my time.

What was your experience?

The reality is that one place doesn't make your worth. It's not a mark on your character or ability.

Literally the most successful person I know personally has been fired. The reality is that attempting to play it safe is just as risky in a way.

Call me what you want, just sign the damn contract

Literally the most successful person I know personally has been fired. The reality is that attempting to play it safe is just as risky in a way. Oracle/IBM have routinely laid off entire groups in the past several years. You could work there for 10 years and then it's just "see you later."

The reality is that one place doesn't make your worth. It's not a mark on your character or ability. You just gotta remind yourself of that and keep relationships outside of just one company so that you have options in case something happens.

Thank you for that, yea I had to tell myself this. However the stigma behind having been fired still haunts me till today.

having candidates submit an assignment that can be done async and they present to the team later gets the job done with the added benefit that it just scales way better.
