About this listen
When Ashish was laid off from Microsoft while on an H-1B, he was on a ticking clock.
In this engaging episode of Laid Off Legends, we dive into how he turned a 120-day immigration deadline into a structured, high-velocity campaign: building a peer cohort with daily “standups,” treating job search like a product sprint, using AI and mock interviews to rebuild 19 years of lost interview muscle, and leveraging LinkedIn with radical openness instead of playing it safe. Ashish shares how he managed the emotional crash, leaned on his family’s belief, handled multiple rejections in a single day, and still landed an impactful role on Amazon’s Audible team. If you’ve been laid off and are on an urgent time crunch, or if you feel like your confidence has been shaken, this conversation is a masterclass in systems, support, and self-belief.
