Layoffs & Career Strategy in European Tech
Layoffs in tech become part of the market reality. Yet many professionals still treat them as something shameful or purely personal.
On April 8, we’re hosting a session about normalizing layoffs and building a smart LinkedIn strategy that actually supports your career growth, whether you’re transitioning, job searching or aiming for leadership.
Our guest, Elvira Khamsin https://www.linkedin.com/in/elvirakhamsin/, is an Engineering Manager and Career Mentor with 15+ years of experience in IT. She specializes in IC → Manager transitions, engineering leadership, and hiring in the European tech market. Recognized as a Top 100 #IamRemarkable facilitator, Elvira combines real leadership experience with practical, data-driven career guidance.
During this session, we’ll talk about:
• Why layoffs are becoming normalized in tech and how to handle them strategically
• How to talk about layoffs publicly and professionally
• LinkedIn strategies that go beyond “open to work”
• How hiring really works in the European tech market
• How to position yourself for growth, not just survival
Elvira has personally transitioned from IC to management and now leads teams with a focus on trust, transparency and individual growth. As a mentor, she supports professionals navigating leadership transitions, job searches and career progression across Europe.
This session is for you if:
• You’ve experienced a layoff (or fear one) and don’t know how to position yourself

• You’re navigating the European tech job market
