Don't stress too much. You are well capable. Take this time to identify patterns that are leading indicators of how the future of work would look like. Fills gaps that let you be a part of it. Spot opportunities in the market not on CTCs but how valuable a company might be in the coming time with their strategy, people leading the ship and PMF goals.

Being an interdisciplinary champ is gonna work well and that is what you should index on

As someone who got laid off recently from Microsoft, I think it's a difficult situation and doubts obviously creep in. But what helped me in landing a new job is never thinking about the layoff atleast when sitting for interviews. Whether you have enough time to upskill yourself would depend on the runway you have in terms of emergency funds but i would suggest to keep on appearing for interviews and keep on upskilling in the background. Don't lose hope and talk to your connections inside and outside of your organisation.

We all have different coping mechanism. Find yours in this time. You landed a job before, itโ€™s same process. Other laid off people can suggest difference in process now if any
