Got laid off after 6 months as a full-time employee

I was laid off after 6 months of working as a full-time employee, just as I was starting to earn a stable income

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had seen the signs of the company's instability earlier"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be prepared for the worst-case scenario and have a plan in place for job loss"
