I just got laid off as the top developer / architect after 3.5 years of coding on a fairly successful Saas application. I think basically the board forced them to cut me because of my top salary 160K+ pitted against the ever emerging global software workforce. So far it's been 4 months and I haven't even looked for a job. We are in a strange place with overseas developers seeming as the preferred choice. Currently I am focused on joining a consulting company that structures remote teams India with US based lead developers. I am a huge believer in law of attraction and so I believe my future is directly in my own hands. I am starting to need a job to pay the rent so I will do something soon. At this point I am so happy to have had the time off well spent with my 2 kids.
