Ivan Maurizi

Ivan Maurizi is a software engineer based in Virginia who experienced a challenging period of unemployment for nearly a year after being laid off from the video game sector in December. Despite sending out over 500 job applications, he struggled to gain traction until he leveraged his network to secure new opportunities. He eventually found a position at a bank in September, although he remains concerned about the volatility of the job market, particularly with the rise of artificial intelligence in his industry.
