[quote=Anonymous]I am working as a statistician for a UN agency in Europe and my contract is not going to be renewed due to USAID funding cut.  My contract ends Dec 31. I am terrified because I'm am 49 years old, and I am not where I want to be as far as retirement.

I have been working here for 18 years.

Who employ statisticians in the private sector? I am not a data scientist or biostatistician? I am a statistician in the traditional sense, like survey methodology, etc

Now with AI doing all the first rounds cuts, competition from other other fellow colleagues and Fed workers in the US, and a slowdown in hiring I don't even know where to look.. unfortunately my professional connections are all in the same field in the public sector.

Should I apply directly via company websites? On indeed? If you know of companies that are known for hiring statisticians in the private sector please let me know.

The good news I know my end date here, so as a result we have been on extreme savings mode etc. I still have about 5/6 months until I am unemployed.

I have about 4 weeks vacation days to use. I would like to use 2 weeks just to devote 10 hours/day preparing/looking for jobs.

And I also face big challenges transferring to the private sector because our experience at these international organizations if you want my honest opinion are not going to be directly of moch value to the private sector.

I think I'll stop now because I am starting to ramble ...
