Today, sixty days after being laid off by JPL, my severance pay and insurance coverage expire. At JPL, I did engineering ops for the Curiosity Rover 🚀. Before that, I studied entrepreneurship and management at Stanford. Please reskeet this so I can make new connections and find new opportunities 🤠 - ThreadSky

Feel free to add me on LinkedIn and see if there's any connections there you'd like me to help with!

Good luck to you. Maybe reach out to a space career coach like https://LauraForczyk.com

Very concerning that someone who contributes to one of mankind greatest achievements didn't immediately get or even offered a job. Sorry couldn't help except boosting the post with engagement. I live in a country with maybe close to zero Bluesky user and I work in advertising.

Finding employment in any kind of tech - especially for those over 50 - is extremely difficult these days. Ask me how I know.

Best wishes. I have a family member who works in aerospace engineering in the Midwest. I will forward this to him.

MilTech, esp. the Drone manufacturing industry.
That's where it's at right now.

Apply for Covered California. If you have no income, you may qualify for Medi-Cal. I’ve been unemployed for over a year and it’s been a lifesaver for my family.
