I am manic busy but I have made my role more than an EA

That’s amazing! True inspiration of what we all should be doing any way we can.

I was laid off in April. I wish people would stop asking me if I’ve found a job yet. There are no jobs. I think the days of EA’s being needed are gone. I’m trying to think of a career shift and don’t know what else I could do.

like

Ouch, asking if you found a job is insensitive and/or obtuse. Jobs are difficult to come by with hiring freezes, etc. If you can, volunteer to keep busy and reach out to unemployment offices in the area (the more affluent the town, the better I think). They offer training, skill building and I think these can be managed on-line. It's easier said than done though, so be vigilant about self-care.

I have a business idea in the VR/AR space utilizing AI. However, I lack skill sets to evaluate viability or to create an MVP. Neither do I have a network to tap into.

My plan is taking classes to deepen my knowledge while joining and actively participating in communities to find collaborators.

Does this approach make sense or do you recommend other approaches? If it makes sense, do you have any recommendations for classes or communities?

Look forward to hearing your experiences and wisdom!

I’ve recently started work at a very young tech startup. Coming from a big law background, this was a huge change of pace/environment.

It feels like hire ups give a set of instructions then talk as if they don’t remember, or then decided rules A, B, C and D applies without being clear this was the case. Is this just the general startup environment? If you experienced this before, how did you deal with It?
