I Think I Lost a Job Opportunity for Refusing to Share Sensitive Information

Send us Fan Mail The hidden cost of job searching, layoffs, and digital privacy This episode is a solo reflection on the modern job market, shaped by layoff experiences, career transitions, and a tense moment in an interview process involving personal data.  Connecting career uncertainty with larger questions about privacy, control, and what people are expected to give up just to stay employed. We discuss how the job market has changed, what layoffs really feel like across different stages of a career, and why onboarding can be an early warning sign about company culture.  I also share how returning to the podcast has been delayed by professional development, studying, and life transitions.
