Got impacted today in the Meta layoffs. I’ve been a product manager for 8 years. For the last one month, I have been applying/interviewing on the side but nothing turned into an offer. Many roles suddenly stopped hiring, some companies I didn’t clear the rounds and at the end of the day - I am unemployed with no new role in sight.

I am genuinely scared if I will ever get a job. Did I hit my career “peak” and this is the end? I am having a really hard time staying optimistic about the future.

I recognize the severance package is very generous but I feel very soon it would run out and I will have no job. The uncertainty feels overwhelming.

For anyone who is or has been in this boat - please share your story/experience.
