This is my third cycle of industry-wide layoffs in tech. I landed my first computer job in the late 1990s. Soon after, I moved to the US and waltzed right into the middle of the dot-com crash. We cracked jokes about our worthless stock options and watched the mayhem from the sidelines. Then, at the tail end of the recession, my employer showed me the door. This put me in a post-9/11 immigration limbo and ultimately forced me to leave the country with the last $100 in my pocket and no real plan.
