This year was looking really good for me during the first few months, but every place I interviewed at experienced layoffs. One of the creatives who interviewed me even reached out about positions at the pharma agency I’m at. Fucking 2020. I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing and hope I don’t curse the next place that interviews me with layoffs.

Fishes, happy new year! Targeting to go back to India in 5 years - figuring out what needs to be done professionally and financially. Professionally, I can stay on course and become partner but don't know what exit options in India would be like. Probably not even worth going through the grind now. So thinking of moving to industry although I like consulting. Thoughts? Financially, already have 2 cr worth assets in India and planning to have 5 cr more by the time I leave. Thoughts?
