Ask HN: I just got fired from a startup. What now?
I've been working at a tech startup for a year as a software engineer. It was great - I learned more in days than I ever could by myself in weeks, and I looked forward to every single day.
But today, I was fired for the first time in my life (without any notice). The company's running out of runway and they can't afford everyone.
I understand where they're coming from, but I still feel a little betrayed. What should I do? Should I pursue an education (I never went to college)? What kind of company should I apply to next? Can anyone from HN give their input from a similar situation?
