Well, it happened - furloughed from a corp dev associate role with a marketing tech company. I joined the company after ~2.5 years in MM IB and had been there for 6 months. Flood of mixed emotions to be honest - after all, no one starts there career anticipating these kinds of events. To anyone in the same boat currently, I feel for you.
Seeking any advice regarding where to start. It seems like a furlough is marginally better than being formally laid off, given I am still technically employed with the company so any background check wouldn't show an employment gap. I was told the max duration would be ~90 days, so I am beginning to search for new opportunities now. Does anyone have any advice when reaching out to contacts? I want to be as honest as possible without divulging unnecessarily detailed info that may get me labeled as "damaged goods".
Thanks all
If you mention what happened and the reasons, nobody will see you as "damaged goods". Simply the times we live in.
reach out to your entire network, setup informal chats and see how they can interview/hire you while you are at home. Also, ask you HR team how they are planning on helping.
