So sad...i'm getting laid off

[maddogchen]

I work for a startup and well we didn't exactly get off the ground before the investors shut us down. Can't find new investors so its the end. They told us today. We'll be all gone by end of next month.

I got 7000 in the bank, spend 800 a month. Guess i got around 8-9 months to find a new job...or go back to school. damnit, no new computer, can't save for a car anymore either...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

oh well just ranting.

You'll still get unemployement. But its the health insurance costs that will hurt. Hopefully you'll land something quick.

i'm in san jose, i helped program their inventory database and now i manage the inventory storeroom. We sell crap online. probably why we didn't do very well, because its worthless crap that no one wants. sadly

If your expenses are only $800 a month I wouldn't worry too much.

The thread stickied on top of this forum is there for a reason...

1. Take some pride you were a finalist
2. Smart that you saved up some money over time.
3. Good luck finding a new job. From experience, do not take too much time off.
