About the Author

With nearly 15 years of experience at technology companies across corporate America, I have spent my career managing large teams, making hiring decisions, and (so far) surviving every major layoff that has come my way.

I hold a bachelor's degree in Finance, and I originally started this blog as a single place to share what I know, so I could help the friends and family navigating their own layoffs without repeating the same advice over and over.

As layoffs become an ever-increasing reality across the United States, I realized that this information could help far more people than just those closest to me. So I created Sack Hacks as a an easy to use, free, and extensive knowledge base of how to juggle everything when life throws a layoff in your path. I hope you find this information helpful in your career journey.
