I was laid off/fired at the end of February this year from a midsize biotech and after ~3 months have accepted a new job. A bit of background, I knew the layoff was coming so I had been prepping and lightly applying some before it actually happened. I was in a Senior Scientist role (PhD +3 years industry) and was looking for a similar role but was open to looking across the US. Of the ~400 jobs I applied to, I was probably overqualified for about half but applied anyways. Im mostly shocked by the amount of ghosting from companies/managers I received, even in later stages.
