Layoff Paranoia is ruining my life

I'm in a similar boat as you. I've noticed that getting a referral at startups is easier because I've already gotten calls from a few startups. Issues with those are the work life balance though.

Things you can’t control - layoff decision Things you can - start job hunting as a worst case scenario, do bare minimum at work so as not to be in the bottom percentile, stop over thinking it’s not gonna be the end of the world.

I think it should not be difficult to try applying a decent brand on your resume

At the same time, focus on war mode for new job search.
