OP, I was in a similar situation 2 years ago... didn’t have CC’s, defaulted on my student loans but lost my job and then my landlord sold his condo and I had to move with no ability to put a down payment ... I had to put everything in storage and I started staying in the cheapest AirB&Bs $5-10/day shared rooms... I was counting on a tax refund to float me but it ended up getting garnished bc of my loans.... I felt so desperate. Same situation no friends/family and everyday I took the bus to the library to apply for jobs online .... I was on the second round of interviews at Deloittte but it would be another 7 months before the final interviews. I had to take a job in another state and all I had was my suitcase and enough money to pay a month at a hotel... I didn’t eat for almost 2 weeks no money.... the only word I can think of is desperate. I’d go to work feeling hopeless, hungry, angry depressed, ashamed... but I eventually got paid and then 2 months later got an offer from Deloittte and moved back ....besides the fear of getting laid off now at Deloittte and being in the same spot it got better...
My point is you need to buy yourself time.... with the little checking/savings number 1) you need shelter! If you can get movers & put everything in storage ... find the cheapest shelter I haven’t checked in but I think airb&b is probably still the cheapest you just need shelter, Wifi and your laptop 2) food
If it gets worst case scenario get a gym membership at 24 hr fitness, you can shower there, public library during the day and if you have a car you can sleep in it... I was homeless in high school and had to for a little bit before a coach took me in and then friends... depending on what skills you have there’s Upwork and Fiverr post on there for freelance gigs
...no family/friends. Enjoy what you have, and remember to throw a dollar bill in a homeless person’s cup if you have it. Because I never thought I would soon be that homeless person
tried to look for other jobs ?
Where are you OP?
D2 so, so sorry to hear about your situation. You persevered! and it adds a level of humility that we often forget in the pretentious consulting world and on fishbowl...
OP where are you based? Based on your title were you at KPMG?
