[quote=Anonymous]I am 56. Lost my job this past fall during a massive downsizing.

I've been looking intermittently and while my family could certainly use the income with college tuitions on the near horizon, I just don't know that I can go back to the extremely long hours and high pressure. People nowadays think AI can solve all anyway so despite my years of management experience I seem to be expendable -- and too expensive. Perhaps at some point I will move into a consultant-type of role where I can work on smaller, one-off projects vs being fully in-house.

I've had a tiny sideline teaching yoga for 20+ years, just because I love it. To keep myself sane and busy, I have been doing some extra trainings. I may start teaching again, partnering up to lead retreats, that kind of thing. Not terribly lucrative, but more fulfilling and I like the community better than those with whom I'd previously spent 40++ hours/week. I think I'm also nicer -- and happier -- teaching yoga than leading projects anyway :)[/quote]
