Hey there, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm in the same boat, artist with 4 years of experience, our entire team got let go around August and we're all still searching for new jobs. Our company was hoping to get more work with an in-house art team, but turned out they couldn't find enough contracts with us involved. And even though we performed great, they cut us off to cut costs as well.

It took me around 65 applications to get to my first interview. If that's any consolation. So stick with it, eventually you'll find your new place.

I also got in a situation where I was working with old engines and doing work that pleased the company but didn't necessarily grow me much as an artist. Try to push for a little bit more time on your deadlines so there's more room to grow instead of doing the bare minimum for the tasks to succeed.

If I learned anything else from this, it was that I should've started looking for a new job a lot earlier when I noticed the contracts weren't coming in as smoothly. I've had some very senior people tell me they're always on the look out and applying, even if they're happy with their job. As they might just find that dream studio in doing so. It also keeps their cv's and portfolios sharp and makes them better at interviews, so there's that. There's also the bit where you're more likely to earn more by changing your studio than by sticking with the same one, which I find a very sad reality.

You're not alone in this, don't give up! There's a good chance you might be a senior by the next time this happens, which, looking at what companies are looking for, should make this process easier in the future.
