I believe if the loans are non-stafford interest accrues. I had to pause my repayments this month because of job-hunt.
They dropped the interest rate to 0% on all Federal student loans. So you won't accrue interest while in deferment right now.
Essentially all revenue generating operations halted as of March 16th.
I was unfortunately leading the charge in a newly created division. We were not generating revenue yet, so the hammer fell for all of us.
Stay happy, stay safe, and keep hacking!
I was sad. We have a big plan to roll out a big feature in May. Now everything I worked on in last 6 months will be put on hold. Probably it never push to production.
My latest joy of becoming a father was ultimately skewed. Now I have to find a new job in Australia while taking care of a newborn. Things become harder this time when many companies impose a hiring freeze.
I still keep my faith that one day I will escape from this unemployment. One day.

These aren't companies. Most are charities. The Royal Opera House will be fine, the hundreds of smaller music organisations will not.
I see. My point is they'll be different , regardless of the "incorporation format". I.e. the instruments and the people will still be there. Unless people stop going to concerts/performances, well then the equipment goes to the basement.

Before you cut everything , keep in mind that you're still a human being and have psychological needs. If that streaming service brings you hours of joy, it might be cheaper to keep it than the bills for your mental health treatment down the line. Don't just cut everything out of your life cold turkey. Keep something that brings you joy.
Having just basic internet and youtube can go a long way. So you can get creative during a crisis and learn to work with a bit less to get almost as much.
I'm a 3D Artist with some software engineering cred, so I work pretty well with engineers in small teams that still need the asset pipeline figured out. Portfolio: https://penny-art.com/
LinkedIn still likes to send recruiters my way telling me about awesome C++ opportunities developer game dev keywords. Please no
It quickly occurred to me that wasn't the wisest thing to tell a person whose job it is to find a long standing candidate. So I asked if my complaints were between us, she said of course.
Later that day, my other recruiter calls me saying he has to tell the company I was contracted at that I will not continue past my term. His justification how it would look bad on there part.
So now I'm without any job, still looking, but without luck.
I have been laid off yesterday. I decided three years ago to settle for a 1800€ job in a public institution, thinking that I could relax and escape the stress of freelance or small startups. For reasons too complicated to put into words right now it has been the most stressful years of my life, burnout/depression/loss of social support, that job took everything from me. There was a political/adminstrative change in t…
You only start to appreciate the sheer incompetence the public sector has when you start working in local government. The amount of people there who would never make it 5 mins in the private sector is incredible and to have a female boss aswell unlucky mate! There's a reason why both men and women prefer Male bosses.
Just been put on furlough with likely redundancy at the end of the national lockdown period. Absolutely devastated. My job was hard and the pace relentless but the work was extremely stimulating and my colleagues were absolutely fantastic people. (It was also a Haskell gig, which is a real rarity.) Right now I'm just licking my wounds and waiting for the lockdown to end. I'm not sure if it makes sense to start a new…
I was not laid off, but my contract ended 3/30. The company I worked under offered me permanent employment around 3/15. I told my recruiter during an off site lunch meeting that I was pretty much unhappy with the work, people, and location. I also foolishly added that I will take the permanent role, but asked if they could find me another one instead as I continue looking. It quickly occurred to me that wasn't the wi…
