I’m 40 and recently transitioned to UX/Product Design. I completed a bootcamp, continue to improve my skills. I network, have coffee chats, attend virtual events, iterated my portfolio and resume.

The few interviews that I have had, feedback has been I don’t have enough experience. I’m at a loss!

Been in the nonprofit world for a bit now as a social worker. I’ve been trying to shift towards the corporate world but have struggled to market myself as a beneficial addition to companies.

I gave in my resignation with a 3-week notice period. Always got good feedback from my manager and we generally got along well.
Yesterday he made this comment in front of my team when he made the announcement. "Don't let the door hit you on the way out". In context we were discussing how to reassign my projects. He then laughed like it was a joke, and I didn't react.
Should I bring this up in a 1-1 meeting or let it go? Is this humour or plain sarcasm?
