On November 19, 2025, I was downsized. I have no idea how to look for a job. So much has changed in the past 4 years since I got this job. To some extent it wasn’t a shock, I mean I knew they were struggling financially. I saw the emails. It was I just thought I had a few more months to try to come up with another idea.
Now I am trying to figure out where I need to go. I mean I have several years of IT development and management. It is just is this a time where I should pivot. I am 50 and I love managing people, but I know my skills as a developer are not where they were. I don’t develop as much as I used to, so those skills are a bit rusty. Then there is AI. I have created a few, so I can do that. However, do I want to do that and sell, or do that in a consulting capacity.
Then there is the fact that I have a wealth of information, and I have noticed my age group is sorely missing representation on youtube channels or other social media.
