Comment on Ask HN: What do you do if you get laid off

Comments

I'd give myself one 24 hour period of "moping." I'd probably get piss drunk and just "get it all out," so to speak. The next day, I would then:

1. Work on myself -- start getting in shape, learn something new, etc..

2. Build things that I have wanted to work on.

3. Apply for new jobs.

4. Apply for jobs completely outside of tech.

(In all honesty, I should probably do all these things anyway, but for some reason, having a job makes much of this too difficult for whatever reason.)

Just remember, now is the time for strength.

Good luck.
