You’re 28 - so it’s all downhill from here. If you didn’t make your first million by 25, then there’s no hope.

Me too…and I’m 23

Same age and same here op

Finding a new job is definitely not easy and it’s easy to get discouraged. But find comfort in knowing that it’s hard and a lot of work for a lot of people! You’re not the only one feeling that way. Also, try focusing or reminding yourself of everything you HAVE accomplished. Why do you think that you’re not where you should be?

Maybe you can start by networking with individuals who’s career path you admire or are interested in just having informational interviews. You can start to map out what areas you might need to focus on and develop a really targeted path to getting you to the salary you want. I recently reached out to and connected with someone that I spoke to last year, they connected me with 2 ppl at one of my target companies and I had great convos and came out with two different referral offers. You never know what comes out of a convo whether an opportunity or just learning what skills you need to bolster

It doesn’t stop until you’re done
