Laid off and discouraged
Unfortunately I just found out that I’m going to be laid off from my job next week. I have a large family to support so it puts me in a tough spot. I’m really discouraged because none of my projects are at a point to be able to sustain me.
One of the things I appreciate so much about this community is the helpfulness, so I figured I’d ask for some help. If you know of any opportunities (full time or part time/remote or otherwise) in marketing (growth, content, or other) or product management I’d really appreciate it.
Hang in there, friend. Do what you have to do to take care of and provide for your family. The projects will still be there, waiting for your time and attention when you're able to. Don't let bad thoughts consume you.
Thank you Brandon.
If you need a job i cannot help you but ... if you are open to starting your own - business ... you can visit this website nearbyshops.org
Keep your head up! I was in the same spot, was out of work for about a month, but got a new job that's not quite what I wanted but hit the salary I needed. You'll land on your feet!
Great to hear, I appreciate the encouragement. Will do!
Where are you located? I have a lot of contacts in the PM space, but most don't do remote work.
Thank you Andrew. Mind if I send you an email to the one on your profile?
Go ahead! If anybody else is in a similar boat, for any role, shoot me an email at andrew@kyzera.com
Stay strong! Your best is yet to come. And with God, all things are possible.

Thank you, that means a lot. I will be sure to check all of those out. God bless you.
Unfortunately I can't help. All I can say is that you can do it and you will do it. Perhaps post a tweet explaining the situation and your experience. Sometimes they get lots of Retweets.
Thanks Harry. That’s a good idea.
