Going from $110k, Employer paid benefits and 45% match 401k to $0 due to a layoff is humbling and scary as hell. I am not saying your situation is easy, but you have something.

This job market is brutal!!!

I totally understand what you are going through OP. I was having trouble finding a new role so I had to do the same thing and take a much lesser paying role while I keep looking. I just can't seem to find anything that pays nearly what I was making before I was laid off.

Why did you make the change in income, was it work life balance? Was it to get out of a toxic work environment? If then you should know it's just temporary and that shouldn't depress you.

It is temporary because I’ve decided it’s best to do whatever I can to change my situation! Thanks for the positivity 🙏 Also I was a director of sales in a pretty niche industry and wanted to a career change

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕
