I left my job in 2023 voluntarily after immense harassment by management for taking paternity leave. I needed it since our baby birth and first few months did not go as we expected. Company had 6 months of parental leave policy but my manager (a woman!) still discriminated. Our baby is fine now and growing well.
I took 6 months off and then started working on my own project that turned into a startup. We have a few customers and we are growing, albeit slowly.
I did not have any experience with Sales and Marketing and did not have any in-group contacts for selling MVP. I am learning it hard way.
Just looking at number of layoffs it is scary. How is job search going for you? I am conflicted on whether I should get back to job search or continue my startup. I believe I product will add value but getting it up is a long path.
What are your experiences with job search lately? I have been in SWE and SWE Manager roles. I enjoy SWE Research work more than being a SWE manager.
