Childcare or eldercare

Second this, childcare especially since it pays well and there isn’t an expectation of medical knowledge like with elder care.

OP, what is your situation? One second you’re saying “if” then “when.” First off, start by only paying minimum on any debt. You should be in survival mode right now.

If you can’t land something design try a grocery store, Amazon delivery, or maybe a Census worker. I had a friend just get hired on for the latter and although temp, $17.50/hr is better than nothing.

Maybe use any additional free time you have to learn a new skill (coding, UX design, video editing, maybe a new language, etc.)

$17.50 is what I'm making now😅

Good luck OP. My current attitude is: if government is going to shut down the economy my student loans and rent are not getting paid.

Anyone else notice a trend with the mass amounts of layoffs in tech? Why are all their resumes so jumpy? Not like 2-5 years jumpy, like few months at a time jumpy? But still can land a position with similar tech giants? IMO, lots of these people get hired by their rich friends, stay a few months before someone realized they aren’t qualified and were just a recommendation from a current employee. Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%

I don’t want my P to know I’ve been hired elsewhere, so I don’t want to tell them I have a new position, but I also don’t want them to think they ran me off (or that I got fired, lol). I’m leaving next week.

RE has slowed down IMO. Still some work in multifamily and new construction/development (and workouts/restructurings/foreclosures), but hotels, office, retail not doing great at the moment for obvious reasons. Have heard of multiple layoffs, but not mass layoffs yet, and I don’t think we’re going to mass layoffs since this is clearly a temporary pandemic related issue.

Would love to hear from others on what they’re seeing in RE. Please share your geographic market/firm size/relevant info.

I’ve got a really good job. Wasn’t looking to move but a big 4 consulting firm reached out. I received a very generous/life changing offer. I’m so worried about work/life balance if I take this offer. Also worried about layoffs in a year or two when the market gets back to normal. I’ve got an infant and a 5 year old. I know that I can manage my current workload. I don’t want to pass up a great opportunity but I’ve got to be available for my family too!
