I was consistently educating myself about the latest tech:
- Watching youtube channels
- Reading my own notes from my book HTML to React
- Building some web apps in my spare time
I was practice Leetcode problems daily - even when I was not interviewing:
- I time-boxed myself to solve medium problems in 20 mins
- Focussed on coming up with patterns to solve similar problems
I had recently given 3 interviews:
- just to see my market value
- out of which I also had gotten offer from 2 of them.
The day when I was laid off...
- All I did was contact all 3 of those companies
- Two did not reply
- The one that did - they offered me a position... NO QUESTIONS ASKED!
Lesson: constantly keep educating yourself and give interviews to stay relevant.
I don't mean to boast about what happened to me.
But, a lesson to all you us.
