[quote=Anonymous]In summer 2001, saw the writing on the wall with the burst of the internet bubble (was a 5th year). I made finding a new position my job 12/7. Managed to get a job offer just a couple of weeks after being told that I was being laid off and before my official employment at the firm ended (my employment continued for 3 months after I was notified). Others in my firm who kept their heads buried in the sand (denying the existence of stealth layoffs or believing it would never happen to them) had more of an employment gap but eventually all landed in new legal positions (most did need to relocate). I was frantic to have a new position before officially leaving my firm. In retrospect, I think I still would have been OK to have taken a bit more time to find the right fit rather than taking the first offer. In the end, all's well that ends well. My career took a circuitous route but I am now in-house and none the worse for the detour I took. [/quote]
