I was laid off because I am at that level that frequently gets laid off. Not high enough to stay and not low enough to stay. And, age discrimination is illegal but happens every day. I am pissed, sad, frustrated, disappointed, and scared. There. I said it.

Been out of work for over a year. At this point I feel like all college did was put me into debt, and make me think it was possible to make a living off of what you actually wanted to do.

I'm trying to figure out how to pivot out of my current job. My department is in utter chaos, which has just become completely unmanageable. I'm looking for front-end web design work, and work from home. I am a strong designer and basically set up landing pages for large companies on a proprietary CMS in our company. If anyone knows of places I could apply? I'm not trying to reinvent myself as I do artwork on the side and would rather grow that business and get out of the chaos of fortune 500.

Adding this because I find this type of information helpful. Went through the interview process with Meta. They moved quick. Recruiter, hiring manager, and full loop all in a two week period. (I know this was fast because I’ve interviewed with Meta before and it was more like a month between hiring manager and full loop). I was told I would hear in 2 weeks or so on a decision. During this time I got another offer. I let meta know the update. Was told I was top pick but had to wait for…
