What is your exit strategy?
I have been thinking about leaving for a long time, but now I have given myself a deadline to leave by the end of February. I have some savings so I am no longer afraid of a turbulent start from scratch somewhere else. The situation here is unbearable and it's not worth waiting to become a layoff target. It's just a waste of time.
Leaving Fiserv in February is a very common month to leave. (historically)
Network, see what skills are needed, and prepare for interviews.
Yes,set a target and network
Apply for 2 jobs every day. The worst that can happen is you never hear back.
Hang on for ONE more year, basically lying low and doing my job, then HOPING they RIF me since I am SOO close to retiring anyways!
