I recently faced a tough situation after relocating to Bangalore for a new role as a Content & Product Marketing Manager at Wayground, previously known as Quizizz. I had over 8 years of experience in B2B SaaS/AI and accepted an offer that came with a 30% salary increase. The job required me to move since it was a 5-day in-office position, and the company covered all my relocation expenses, including flights and moving costs. During the interview process, I learned that Wayground was shifting its focus from a B2C-first model to a stronger B2B approach, and my role was crucial in developing content programs for this transition. After relocating, I quickly adapted to the new environment and started contributing to various content initiatives. The team was supportive, and I felt secure in my position. However, things took a turn when the company announced a significant restructuring, resulting in about 15% of the workforce being laid off, including myself. This was the largest layoff in the company's history, affecting teams across various functions, from senior engineers to fresh graduates. Now, I'm back in the job market, and I'm feeling anxious about my career trajectory. I've worked at 6 different companies over the past 8 years, which averages out to about 1–1.5 years per role. My most recent position lasted only 3 months, and it was due to company-wide changes rather than my performance. I'm reaching out for insights, especially from recruiters and hiring managers. How concerning is my employment history? How might you interpret my resume? Would my recent layoff impact your hiring decision? If you were to interview me, what concerns would you have? Lastly, how can I present my career story in a way that is honest yet not defensive? I'm eager for constructive feedback to enhance my chances in the job market.
