Initially confident in his position, the sudden job loss prompted him to become more vigilant about assessing a company's financial stability before accepting a role. Though the layoff was a shock, he quickly secured new employment, recognizing that in the tech industry, opportunities were abundant for skilled graduates. Philippe highlights the importance of continual self-investment and preparedness for future uncertainties in the job market.
The layoff from American Express shifted my whole perception of work, forcing me to invest in my skills and never take job security for granted.
