6 YOE Frontend Lead just got laid off — Need guidance, referrals, anything that helps

Help

I’m a Frontend Developer with ~6 years of experience, recently working as a Lead at a UK-based startup. Unfortunately, the company is shutting down — not due to product or engineering issues, but because the sales side couldn’t generate enough traction.

Now I’m in a tough spot with no backup plan and actively looking for new opportunities.

My background:

  • 6 years of experience in frontend development
  • Strong focus on React.js, TypeScript, and modern web architecture
  • Experience leading projects end-to-end (from planning to deployment)
  • Worked closely with cross-functional teams in a fast-paced startup environment
  • Built scalable, production-grade applications

I’ve been applying through job portals, but responses have been limited so far.

I would genuinely appreciate a help.

Also open to freelance/contract work if that’s a faster route right now.

Happy to share my resume via DM.

Thanks in advance
