§ Journey
Knocked off the perch. Getting back on it.
The day they call you in. What to ask before you sign anything. What you're owed under the National Employment Standards. Cash runway maths so you know how long you've got. The job-search ratios that actually land interviews. How to talk about it without making it weird. What to do if it stretches past three months.
Begin →What's about to be put in front of you, what to ask, and what not to sign on the spot.
Notice, redundancy pay, accrued leave, super, bonuses, equity. AU rules. Tax. The actual numbers.
Months of expenses, cuts, the 90-day budget. The plain numbers behind how long you can wait.
LinkedIn, recruiters, network, cold applications. The channel split and weekly ratios that actually land interviews at senior levels.
Partner, parents, kids, mates. The relational work that blows up the search if you don't tend to it. Scripts and timing for each conversation.
How to answer it in interviews, how to tell your family, how to bring it up with mates.
Six-month-in checklist. Contracting, consulting, pivot signals. What to do when the search stalls.
