I was in this position last year. Fortunately, I was placed on a new account in January, but the dread was hard to shake, even surrounded by loved ones. I learned that the only way to free up your emotions from a decision that is totally arbitrary is to create security for yourself - this past year I aggressively saved up a healthy emergency fund, lived on a tight budget, and invested the rest in index funds.
The only way to win the rat race is to retire.

I feel for you. I was laid off in April and am STILL looking for my next role. This market is wild (and terrible). Really hoping for a Q1 turnaround.

I'm really sorry to hear it. Might be joining you soon..

Sorry to hear that. Things will get better soon. When one door shuts...another always opens.

Ugh, so sorry this happened to you. I hope you're able to land on your feet and find something bigger and better real soon!

It’s review season at my agency. I’m struggling with what goals to put down or things I want to learn.

Is 7 weeks too early to start thinking I may have made a huge mistake in switching to my current gig? I left the last place because it was overr toxic and terrible W/L balance, for one that seemed to be more “fun” and more realistic hours, only to find that I’ve now been working 12 -14 hours a day and just drowning and feeling like I cannot catch up or catch my breath. Everyone is in the same boat here which is why I’m so overwhelmed so quickly with no support. Is this an immediate red flag?
