I recently experienced a retrenchment at my job as a marketing specialist at a mid-sized tech company. The decision came as a surprise to many of us, as we were in the middle of several projects that seemed to be going well. I was part of a larger round of layoffs that affected multiple departments, and it was tough to see colleagues I had worked closely with let go. I’m now in the process of updating my resume and reaching out to my network to explore new opportunities. It feels daunting, but I’m hopeful that I can find a new role soon.
