Pretty much what happened to me. 10 years at the same company, saw it grow from small, chaotic business to full corpo, rebrand, merge, split… I got fired this year in yet another in a series of layoff. After one month of searching I did an old style interview with one company (1h java interview, that’s it) and got hired. So far I really like it. So… either I got really lucky or it’s not as bad as people claim.
