My wife and I decided to start a new life in Canada. I work remotely for a company and occasionally went to Mexico City. Now they've asked me to return. I've sent out so many applications, and it's so hard to get an interview! In Latin America, I swear, interviews came pouring in, but here it seems like they're avoiding them.

It's not the location, it's the job market. There have been an unprecedented number of layoffs in tech in the past two years, and many of us have been looking for work for months and months.

Now that our savings is gone, we are having to sell our home and live off the equity to buy more time. I say this to say that perhaps you should put some real thought I to what moving back to Mexico City might look like. All of it's temporary.

Define temporary. I honestly believe this is the new normal. Every year or about every two years AI will continue to get better. Companies will continue to lay off to afford tokens. All in all, there are some systems jobs that may be necessary or at least Sr developer cleanup crews. Otherwise think about what all can be automated by a machine within 5 years and then within 10 years what all can be automated by a walking and talking robot? Could electrical or construction even be safe at that point? Yes, things will get easier for the Ceo's but not for the people.

Does anyone have any RAG formulaic templates they've used in the past that they wouldn't mind sharing? Working at a company that is developing processes and we do not have a consistent/formulaic approach to RAG status. I've worked in other companies where we would do line item milestones with their own individual RAG (determined by probability+ impact) that would roll up into an overall project RAG status. But, I'm unable to find a template like that easily.
