Amazon Layoffs Leave Designer Facing Uncertainty
5.9
Joanelle Cobos, 38, says she was laid off by Amazon in October and began actively job hunting in January after taking a paid leave-through the end of the year. She reports a roughly $25,000 emergency fund and about 10–12 months of runway, is targeting smaller companies, and uses generative AI tools to speed résumé and cover-letter preparation.
