We’ve all seen the news on how brutal these recent layoffs have been. Google laying off 12,000. Microsoft laying off 10,000. Twitter 4,000. Tesla 6,000. Snapchat 1,000. Amazon 18,000. Meta 11,000. And with every layoff, LinkedIn gets flooded with posts like this. Doesn’t matter if you’ve been with a company for 6 months or 16 years, so many people were getting laid off. I was one of them too.

What’s up Tamer. I remember I started watching your videos for almost a year now and when I started I was really lost in my architecture educational path. But after watching your videos and using your experiences as lessons to grow I was able to get my first internship with the EDC in NYC.
You’ve really helped me man. I am forever grateful for everything I’ve learned from you. I hope to meet you one day, and the way my life is going so far I don’t see that as an impossible task.
Thank you again, Tamer!

Love these videos man. You are one of the hidden gems that keep it real, informative, and really helpful to ppl like us who go through these struggles. Although I'm not in engineering, I too am going through the rough waters of applying 500+ jobs and then maybe getting like one email about a potential offer, only to not hear back from the employer after the interview. I just get so frustrated and depressed, but your videos have helped me a lot with this process and honestly cant wait to hear more upon your next journey.

I’m a 36 years old dad in college for electrical engineering. I just got my A.S. Degree . My previous year was graphic design for over 10 years. I have been working in the draw bridge industry field For three years I need to get a new job. Because the company I’m working for is down sizing. I have experience in electrical and mechanical design. Also Assembling electrical control panels, hydraulic systems and fabricating. I have experience in python and microcontroller like arduino/ raspberry pi.

One advice feedback I received from a startup CEO and a software friend is to focus on a skill or two with personal projects as experience and learning growth. Initiative, idea & end-goal focused, and self-reliability are good personal soft-skills to develop.
