Anyone ever consider learning a trade at this point as a backup? Half joking, but as I watch senior people get let go (a glimpse into my future), I feel like it’s not the worst idea I’ve had.

Think about the things that you like to do outside of work. Many hobbies can turn into “back-up” jobs.

If you haven’t already, start putting your money away. Think about what you need to save to weather a lay-off for months if not a full year.

I know a former ECD who has won numerous awards who painted houses for 2 years between gigs. I think he’s an ACD now.

I did it and it saved my butt. Not to mention, I picked a trade that allows me to craft highly creative work. Work that doesn't glue me to a desk and a screen. I always had Print Production jobs in ad agencies. It's hard to find satisfaction from routing PDFs for a dollar. I never imagined I'd make money by milking my creativity, but I have built a financial safety net from it. Also, I learned a lot by being the boss of my side hustle and starting a part time business. That sort of experience would never have come to me from my ad agency jobs, but it's applicable and valuable.
