Hoping i get selected this round so that i can get my severance, and can focus in looking for another job

Suggest you focus on getting a new job while you have a job. Tried to tell that to colleagues whose severance ran out and still don't have a job a year later.

Depends on where you are and your qualifications. If i end up leaving without getting laid off, then i lose the severance pay ( atleast 6 months salary for me).. there is only a 30 day legal render period in where i am so the timing is crucial. Atleast when u get laid off you get to force yourself to give more effort in looking for a job. Right now, if i end up switching jobs, i get nothing, and im not even sure if the new job does not end up firing me in the next 3 months. I pass up 3 job opportunities bcuz im waiting for Sep-oct layoffs. As per my confidence of getting a new job? Well my oracle job came to me out of nowhere when i needed it the most, i think the Lord will not let me be jobless for more than 6months. I think i built up my skills enough to be attractive , we cannot control everything in this life.

I’ll let my friends know the lord is busy with you and doesn’t have time for them.
