I'm Mikhail Mooney, CCIE #6692 - a senior network engineer with 30 years of experience who was laid off on October 29, 2025. Instead of hiding this experience, I'm documenting the entire journey in real-time on my YouTube channel.
These resources come from my actual layoff experience - the spreadsheet I'm using, the guide I wish I had, the checklist that would've prepared me better. I'm sharing everything that works (and what doesn't) as I figure it out.
Current status: 1,537 YouTube subscribers, building WealthCheck.ai (a privacy-first wealth tracking platform), and searching for my next role in modern tech startups while documenting the process.
