Layoff OR a new opportunity...
I'm not upset about being out of LeapFrog. It was just such a poorly run organization. I didn't feel like it was a good fit until recently when I landed in the Firmware department. I would have liked to get 1 more year of firmware experience before moving on...but I'm excited to find a new (hopefully better) job. Financially I'll be fine for a while. Unemployment will be $450/week. I have 3 weeks severance and will be getting the company bonus March 15th. Not sure what it will be but hoping it's good. Plus I have my "laid-off nest egg" which will supplement. And I'm getting $1k back from taxes. So I can easily be off work for 3mo, or 6mo but I really hope to have another job by then.
I'm just so glad I'm not laid-off in KY with that *%^* house! Here I'm so much better off financially that I don't have to worry about the money issue. And there are millions of companies around the whole bay. I'm just hoping to find something close to SF and not all the way down in San Jose.
I've been contacted by some recruiters that found my resume online. And I've contacted other recruiters I know. Now I just need to study up for the interviews ; )
