Yep this is exactly how I have been feeling lately. The job market is rough and nothing feels like it is good enough anymore. I am definiteky ready to retire lol.
Testify.
My creativity has been replaced with second guessing case studies, constantly rewriting my resume, sweating every phone call is a bill collector, and constantly telling myself "it's not you, it's the job market".
It doesn’t sound too bad, honestly. Seriously considering a career pivot and just finding something creative I can do on the side.
I don’t even have a career to pivot yet bruh

You had me until the construction bit, I tore down my portfolio this year but it was only because I wanted to start fresh and put together a better body of work
Me! Except for the back related stuff, I have my own stuff lmao I’m turning 50 soon. And I only am on a job hunt because my last employer was sketchy with pay.
I think about becoming a landscaper all the time.. lol but I hate the heat of the south and all the bugs.. lol
I'm pivoting at 60. Starting at USPS in December.
The problem is I’m already 47. 😔
At least you're not 54😞
This one hits! I’ve been a Bay Area designer nearly 17 years. The past 5, I’ve been remote and moved to the central valley to afford a home and raise my family. The time has come that corporate wants remote workers to relocate/commute back to the office. I simply just cant do either so I was laid off.
Constantly applying for remote opportunities and getting denied and honestly, I’m not motivated to be a designer anymore and just want to work doing some sort of construction, general labor, or even a truck driver. Wage’s here are significantly lower than the Bay Area and It saddens me how people wake up 4am every single day to commute and earn that extra buck, get home late with just a few hours with family only to repeat the same thing the next day. This shit sucks, I hope we all find a solution!
