Sorry to hear that. Happened to me too + a cross county move for the job. Things will get better and companies will want/need our expertise in rebuilding so age and wisdom will help. File for unemployment. Even if it's low you'll get the subsidy and that will help a little. Stay strong.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?
