How I recovered after getting fired from my first job in tech I worked as a Product Manager for a couple years at a VC funded company with an aggressive unsustainable growth strategy. When things didn’t go well, a bunch of people got fired. Given the state of big tech right now, I think a lot of people are in the same boat. I love building products, so I took my lay-off as a kick in the ass to build my own business. It's still early days, and I'm far from being a success story, but I'm definitely happier now that I'm working for myself.

How did you deal with it? |
