I was laid off back in January 2024 when the project I was on finished and the next project got delayed by the client. It took me few weeks to digest it and start applying for new jobs in the tech sector. Over the next three months, I applied to over 100 jobs before finally landing an offer for a web developer position at Techwave Solutions. I started my job in July with a 25% pay increase and good work life balance. I went from having a toxic boss to to working with an amazing management team.
