> The CTO and a few people on that team reached out and said "let me know if you need anything"

Good. So, be sure incorporate this into your disclosure. That will mitigate potential Red Flags to new employers.



Thank you for walking me through this. Sorry to keep pestering you, but as far as my disclosure goes, what do ou mean? I'm not entirely sure I follow. Are you saying I should stick to those 3 bullet points you outlined?


It’s highly likely during the interview process, someone will ask why did you leave your last company?

Be prepared to answer. Networks often overlap in mysterious ways in the business.

ex: Truthfully, I was let go. My CTO and colleagues will vouch for the quality of my work. But my direct reporting manager was a bit difficult.

That’s why I am being very strategic about my job search, really focusing in on the people, culture, and reporting relationships.


Got it. Thanks! Random question, what's your favorite book?
