After a successful summer internship at a mortgage tech company, Alana Klopstein was thrilled to get a job offer. But three months before her start date, her offer was being rescinded. “It was really devastating,” she said.
Wildly profitable tech companies are citing an as-yet notional recession to make deep workforce cuts. They may have another agenda.But when they happen, it’s crucial to reach out to your networks, whether that’s LinkedIn, an alumni association or an industry-specific group.
“I was just flabbergasted,” Goldberg, 27, who lives in Brooklyn, said of the rescinding. “I just took kind of an hour to cry, have an emotional moment, come to the ground and realize what was going on.” Goldberg ended up breaking her lease in New York City, moving in with family to save money and looking for a new opportunity. She found one in three weeks, thanks to a referral from a college friend.
Alana Klopstein is considering jobs outside the technology industry as she continues her employment search.

The court has no legal powers but prosecutors said they will present evidence that Putin committed the crime of aggression by ordering the invasion nearly a year ago, unleashing a devastating war that has killed thousands and left towns and cities in ruins.
