“I went through a recession in my career in 2008. I was working at a Software Company that went down eventually and had to lay off the entire team. It was a difficult time. Finding a job was not easy. After much effort, I found a job but I became a permanent skeptic about good times. On the side of my job, I invested to upskill myself and started pursuing freelancing, which eventually led to my entrepreneurial journey. Hard times are difficult but if we use them wisely and be patient it could lead to better outcomes.” - Al-Farooque Shubho.
