If you’re impacted by a layoff what can you do to keep progressing as a PMM?
Zendesk Senior Director of AI Product Marketing | Formerly LinkedIn • May 8
Firstly, I'm so sorry if you've been impacted by layoffs. My advice is to reach out to your network for support, advice, and potential job opportunities. We're here for you! In the meantime, definitely invest in continuous learning—consider taking online courses, attending workshops, or even going to a PMM meet-up. You could also consider doing some freelance or contract work while you look for a FT job. Hang in there - you've got this!
