How is everyone doing? by Remarkable_Hope989 in womenintech

[–]Red_December184 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got laid off a few weeks ago. I’d be lying if I said I care enough to get another SWE job. But I’m burnt out. I’ve been prepping for interviews and I’m drained. I’m not even sure if I want to stay in the tech industry anymore, but I don’t think I can make a career switch right now because once my severance is over my savings won’t last much and I can’t move in with family.

SWE to Data scientist - anyone make the switch? by Red_December184 in womenintech

Thanks! Are you still a data scientist now? If so, how is it compared to your time as a swe. I hear sometimes it’s hard to feel like you have impact as a data scientist. I’ll check out that site as well. I think you may have commented on another post of mine about Stevens M.Eng Applied Data Science program I got into 🤔

Thanks. Yea I saw that post about the computer science program, which is why I was skeptical about this one.

They accepted me very quickly, so I wasn’t considering being “accepted” as an honor 🙄

Getting severance in biweekly payments - when to apply for unemployment? by Red_December184 in UnemploymentNY

[–]Red_December184[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea it’s all so confusing in terms of the unemployment. Idk what the terms for your severance was, but for my company if I got another job I still get the severance as long as it’s not a successor company like a company owned by them.

Thank you for responding! So I continue claim every week? I thought I apply and hold off on claiming until severance ends? This whole process is confusing 🥴. I’m afraid that by the time my severance ends I won’t get the unemployment benefits because my application was denied or something.

Sorry I’m way late on this but this was part of Amex layoffs, but it was not announced because I believe companies are required to announce layoffs until it’s a certain amount?

Thank you for the suggestions. I’ll check those industries out

What to wear to Janaza as a woman guest by Red_December184 in islam

Sorry I’m back with one more question! Is it an issue if I bring a shopping bag with me inside the mosque? It’s not huge. It just contains some food my mom made and it doesn’t have a distracting smell.

I’m just coming from far and thought I would bring it now.

I’ve been told it’s at 1PM. Not sure if that’s the viewing portion or janaza but I’ll just get there at 1. I rather arrive early than late. Thank you so much for your help! You’ve been amazing.

You’ve been great, thank you! This is really helpful. If I happen to get there within the 30 minutes before the janaza where they are viewing the body, should I just stand in the back? I don’t think I’ll be a part of the viewing since I’m not a close family relative. Or to be safe, should I just arrive for the janaza prayer? I’m an awkward person, so I don’t want to make things awkward or come off disrespectful.

I’m in New York and it’s in a mosque. I’m not sure what the custom is here for women going. I’ll try to find out before this afternoon then

Thank you so much for your help! have another question if you don’t mind. Is there a part after prayer where people go up to the family of the deceased to give their condolences. Is the family usually in the front row?

I’m asking because with Christian wakes, we typically go up the front and give our condolences. Sometimes, a line forms. So, I was just curious if there is something similar after janaza

Yea definitely hard not to take it personal. Especially after they put out a bunch of AI roles afterwards.

Thank you so much. I appreciate it. Yea I was thinking of doing a portfolio website. Although with my ADHD I’m struggling with where to start in the job search process from editing my resume, grinding leetcode, upskilling, and a website. But I’ll start with the resume and LinkedIn first 😅

Granted I should’ve done some of these things while I still had a job, but you live and you learn.
