Lost my in-house job today due to the impact of Covid on the financial performance of the company. I was there only for five months. I thought I had found something good after spending many years in an agency where I was miserable. Now I have to find another job. Again. I’m 49.

Well think positive - there are so many more remote jobs opening up client-side now - and likely will continue to as companies see that it works with people not all on site together. Keep your spirits up and sell your work to companies even if it’s remote.

Good luck. Things are starting to get better in terms of advertisers spending and agencies hiring, it seems. So maybe you’ll find another great in-house gig.

Hi fishes,

I think I am slipping into depression. My life seems to have no meaning and all I do is work. I don't get time for myself or my family, friends and loved ones. But I can't leave my job and take a break as I need the financial support.

I also feel I am earning way less than my peers which makes me feel like a loser. 4.5 years of work-ex and 16LPA.

What should I do? I need good wlb but also need money badly.
