This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Laid Off from Tech? Here's Your Playbook to Land Better—Faster, Stronger, and on Your Terms.

Losing a tech job isn't just a financial setback. It's an identity shock wrapped in a severance package. When the Slack access disappears and the meetings stop, one question remains What's next?

You're a builder, a problem-solver, and someone who turns complexity into action. You don't need vague career advice or empty motivation. You need a system.

Reset and Rebound is a practical career recovery playbook designed specifically for tech professionals. Written by engineer and career coach Prince Penman, it combines emotional resilience with tactical execution to help you transform a layoff into a strategic career pivot.

This book guides you through every stage of the journey—from managing the immediate impact of a layoff to rebuilding confidence, evaluating career options, mastering interviews, negotiating compensation, and creating a career that is stronger than before.

Inside, you'll learn how to:

• Stabilize emotionally and financially after a layoff.

• Separate your identity from your employer, title, and compensation.

• Audit your skills and uncover valuable transferable strengths.

• Evaluate multiple tech career paths using a structured decision framework.

• Build a personal brand that attracts recruiters and hiring managers.

• Access the hidden job market where opportunities aren't publicly posted.

• Master technical and behavioral interviews using proven preparation systems.

• Negotiate salary, equity, and benefits with confidence.

• Succeed in your first 90 days and build credibility.

• Build an antifragile career that grows stronger through uncertainty.

Whether you're a software engineer, product manager, data scientist, designer, or leader, this book delivers practical, actionable guidance.

The tech industry is volatile. Your career doesn't have to be.

A layoff is not a verdict. It's an interruption that can become a turning point.
