[5 YoE] Recently laid off Supply Chain Analyst pivoting to Analytics Engineering

Hi everyone! Just laid off this morning as part of a "restructuring". Position was eliminated and not performance based. I've got about 6 months of runway so I'm trying to be strategic about the next move rather than just applying to everything.

I spent a little over 4 years between a hardware subsidiary and its parent company. Started as a supply chain planner, learned the operations inside and out, then transitioned into a solo analyst role where I built data pipelines, automated reporting, and helped the team navigate a major ERP integration.

I'm currently pursuing my MS in Computer Science at an Ivy League school part-time. Ideally, I'd like to use this layoff as the pivot point to move into a more technical role but obviously you gotta do what you gotta do. I'm targeting Data/Analytics engineering in pretty much anything.

My main concern is whether this resume reads as "supply chain person who knows some technical stuff" vs "technical person who happened to work in supply chain." I want the engineering work to come through.

Appreciate any feedback and thanks again!

Hi everyone! Just laid off from a Fortune 100 networking company this morning as part of a "restructuring". Position was eliminated and not performance based. I've got about 6 months of runway so I'm trying to be strategic about the next move rather than just applying to everything.

I spent a little over 4 years between a hardware subsidiary and its parent company.

My main concern is whether this resume reads as "supply chain person who knows some technical stuff" vs "technical person who happened to work in supply chain." I want the engineering work to come through. Also not sure if the education section is helping or raising questions. I've got multiple degrees and I'm wondering if that's working for or against me.

Appreciate any feedback and thanks again!
