When we started this podcast, we thought we’d be talking mostly about tech executives navigating career pivots. But then layoffs started hitting everywhere—not just in tech, but across industries, and even in the government. Suddenly, this isn’t just a niche conversation—it’s the most timely career topic of all time.

In this first episode of Who Moved My Career, Arun and Nicole dive into the emotional rollercoaster of layoffs, the identity struggles that come with it, and what actually helps you move forward. They share their own stories of career disruption, the unexpected gut-punch moments, and the harsh realities of job searching in a shifting market.

But this isn’t just about surviving—it’s about who shows up for you, how you reframe the narrative, and why networking beyond LinkedIn is more critical than ever.

If you've ever faced a career curveball—or want to be the person who helps someone through theirs—this one’s for you.
