It’s hard to get a retail job with lots of experience. Have you looked into contract based work/doing your own thing ? I am currently still in my career and doing things on the side uses the skills I gained in my career.

I am in the same boat. I have used ChatGPT to help me rewrite my resume to cater to retail and customer service jobs. Make sure you have some keywords for those positions in your resume.

Working in a start-up and love having an impact on the product. Things have been too chaotic tho. Thinking of recruiting for a big tech company but not sure if it's for me- anyone willing to chat?

I'm working at a startup where I feel like I've spent as much time trying to deal with product issues vs working on roadmap items. I get this is bound to happen in a start up but is this common? I'm not sure what to do. It seems like no one really thought about the architecture or ux as much as they should have in my opinion. I need some advice.
