Reminds me of that time I left my agency of 4.5 years to join a new one... and then it closed 8 months later.

Moral of the story: you’ll get through it better + stronger in the long run.

I know right and horrible that 2 months before everything exploded a recruiter was corresponding with me via LinkedIn!

The beast of the industry

This is the worst in the moment but often times is a blessing in disguise. Usually this means it was a bad relationship with the client or they have no money to spend. Either way, it’s not pleasant. If they’ve kept you on (I hope so!), in three months you will probably be glad once you hear everyone complain about how awful they were :)

And you’re still there?? Lucky you!
