“It has been a year in a week” for Zac Bowling, who got laid off from Google during the tech giant’s 12,000 employee cut in late January.
For the past nearly eight years, Bowling has been working as a software engineer at Google, based in San Francisco. And since he was given the bad news on Jan. 20, along with thousands of other Googlers, he’s kept busy searching for his next gig and reaching out to people in his network. “I put my name out there and I'm already getting pings” from other tech companies, he told me last week.
