I got laid off along with 18000+ people from my company.
This was a very hard video for me to make. Hopefully everyone understands the emotions that I'm trying to share here.

I am sorry to hear about what happened to you. From my past experience as an Amazon Intern as well, I can say that the process there is quite random. Even if we put in all the work and our best, there are some factors that are not in our hands and when the decision of us being in the company or not falls on such factors, it always hurts very bad. Kudos to you for being strong after that. Have faith in yourself and believe that everything would turn out good in the end.

Unfortunately I was Laid-off 2 times last year(March 2022 and November 2022), it's been tough I don't why it happened with me twice but I was heartbroken both times , however I stayed positive and worked hard and upskilled myself, I knew something good and big will happen, after 3 months of giving lots of interviews and lots of rejections in final rounds I was able to get a job and I joinned a early stage startup and in just 3 months I have been able to learn a lot as I am doing everything from scrach here.

Hi, Neelayan Sir. I knew you as Sohan's roomate since a long ago as Sohan is like my elder brother not as blood relation but from same school. His parents were our close relatives. So, I started following your YT channel from my 3rd year of engineering as our likes, dislikes and aspirations were somehow aligning together. After watching this video, as a younger brother I can only say don't loose hope, keep believing in yourself and I think something unique and amazing is written for you that's why you got laid off :-)

The main thing that hit me hard and what I corelate with my life and my psychology is that if I have done something wrong and because of that I know I am gonna get laid off, that's perfectly fine.. I will obviously know where I am lagging behind and I can work on it, but that's the thing if something bad happens without reason it really hits the confidence and leaves me shattered and confused. For me also, I just take a few days off and just find a reason where I might be bad at after doing a very critical analysis, I generally take the blame upon me, because what I feel is if I something bad happened to me because of something bad I have done, the ball is on my court, I can always choose to work on it and turn around
