It’s tough out there for everyone and IT workers are not immune. There was a fairly passionate debate on Tech Republic this week surrounding considerations for dealing with job loss, the importance of thinking forwardly and not letting your emotions take over.
As difficult as it is to swallow rejection, both emotionally and financially, it’s pretty empowering to know that, in reality, our lives change infinitely faster than these “experiences” immediately before us. Victor Frankl talked about this in much of his writing on psychology. In these troubled economic times, I’ve found it’s helpful to reflect inwardly. Having a close group of confidants and a large professional network who know what you‘re about (at the core) is a tremendous asset.
Best wishes to all the passionate IT workers out there in job transition.
