Hi, received an offer from another Big4 in Amsterdam (currently working in Eastern Europe), but relocating, I’m concerned about potential layoffs in the coming period being the last to join the team.

I asked for a raise and instead got laid off. Told that after looking into finances not only can they not afford a raise they cannot afford me. But I know for a fact they are replacing me with an Agency that say they can run our Social Media for 500pcm. Is this normal practice these days?

Any art directors/sr designers who have successfully pivoted out of a creative role and into something else? Ive been working in visual design for 10 years and I am BORED but have no idea what i could be doing instead.

Tell me how you got out, im desperate for inspiration.
