I was laid off in 2010. As far as layoffs go, I was fortunate. My employer, a boutique investment bank, handled the process with fairness. They let me keep the handful of M&A clients that I had brought in, which became invaluable in starting a new firm. The layoff itself was less painful than it could have been since I had already endured a humbling string of broken deals over the preceding 18 months. I was primed for it.
