I was recently laid off from Amazon after spending 11 years with the company. It's a strange feeling to find myself in this situation, especially since I never planned for it. Surprisingly, I'm not feeling particularly sad about the layoff. Instead, I'm more curious about what the future holds, even though I haven't figured out my next steps yet. I'm reaching out to see how others who have gone through similar experiences approached this phase. Did you take the opportunity to explore something new, or did you stick to what you were familiar with?
