Meta laid her off by surprise. Now she says she's better off—3 strategies she used to rebound

Rawan was laid off from Meta in November 2022 but says it was exactly what her career needed.

For Rawan, shock came first. She spent the last hours of her time at the company reaching out to close colleagues and mentors, thanking them for their support over the years.

Still, the random nature of such a life-shifting moment felt unfathomable to her at the time. It was especially jarring because she believed she had done everything "right": getting a great education, choosing what appeared to be a stable company and earning high performance reviews. It then became clear to her that the "safety net was an illusion."

She also had more time to dedicate to her content creation hobby: While at Meta, she had been running social media accounts for personal and professional development. She has a love for making information about college, career and travel opportunities more accessible to under-represented communities.
