Been noticing an uptick in changing of the proverbial—two pretty well-known recruiters (Anne Ross and Paul Gumbinner) using the “R” word and saying sayonara to the industry. Curious to know how many others are thinking that CV-19 might be Ma Nature’s hint to step off the bus (or subway)—-and, especially, what’s keeping you hanging in, even hunkered down.

Me. But I’ve freelanced for years and will continue to take assignments if they show up, just won’t chase very hard. So I guess you could call that “hanging in,” I call it semi-retirement. Right now I’m thinking this is a chance to try different things. In the end I’m not sure how much choice I have, seems CV-19 will call the shots.

Yeah. Unless you can tread water for a few years this may be the way to go.

(Cont.) Anyway, woke up this am thinking maybe we ought to spread the word that you got game until you decide you want to take it off court. Not easy, never easy, but if there’s one thing I’ve seen in 3+ decades in advert, It’s that anyone who decides to keep bringing it, gets to keep on. And as to the “I’m calling it quits on ambition and heading to pharma”—légions of lawyers and other murder hornets notwithstanding, I think there’s good work to be done there by people with the experience to make it happen.
