Access to Database Post-Layoffs?

I was recently let go from my company as a senior manager due to performance. I am wondering are there any databases or resources that I can continue to utilize despite the fact I was fired from the firm? 

For example, if I wanted to get some Equity Research from CapitalIQ, would I be able to log into a company account that I had previously used? 

 

Ah, the post-layoff blues. I feel you, mate. But here's the thing, once you're no longer with a company, your access to their resources, including databases like CapitalIQ, is typically revoked. It's a standard procedure to ensure security and confidentiality.

However, don't lose hope! There are other ways to get the information you need. You can:

  1. Use public resources: There are plenty of free resources available online that can provide similar information. Websites like Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, and others can be a good starting point.
  2. Network: Based on the most helpful WSO content, networking is key. Reach out to your contacts in the industry. They might be able to provide you with the information you need or point you in the right direction.
  3. Alumni resources: Some schools offer their alumni access to resources like databases and libraries. It's worth checking out if your alma mater offers such services.

Remember, every setback is a setup for a comeback. Keep your chin up!

Why would your company allow you to keep accessing their databases post firing?
