"In July, I was laid off by Intel - for the second time. Although I was given a few weeks' notice to land a new role within the company, I didn't try too hard to find one. After my second time around at Intel, part of me felt it was time for a new adventure - even if I knew the job market could be challenging."
"I first joined Intel as a software engineer in 1996, shortly after graduating from college. I spent the next 20 years at the company until 2016, when I was laid off for the first time. After a difficult 16-month search, I managed to find an engineer job at another company, but in 2022, I was laid off again. I was unsure about rejoining Intel, but I needed a job."
Sriram Ramkrishna, age 56 and based in Portland, Oregon, worked at Intel for over two decades cumulatively, most recently as a senior community manager and developer relations professional. He experienced a first layoff in 2016, endured a 16-month job search, found another engineering role, and then faced another layoff in 2022. After the July layoff from Intel, he initially searched casually while relying on a financial cushion. On his final official day at Intel, his wife also lost her job, which turned a casual search into an urgent need to secure employment despite uncertainty about rejoining Intel.
