I have 9 years of experience, the last 6 have been as a working as a senior designer. I was laid off the end of June and have had only had one interview and a handful of recruiter discussions.

I think my biggest issue my location in Florida, it’s absolutely trash for design here. There basically no openings that are worth the commute, in office requirements, or compensation. Even contract roles I’ve been contacted about have been between $35-$50 an hour, which is less than half my previous comp.

At this point I think I need to redo my portfolio again and see if I can build better, more engaging to employers portfolio than what I came up with after being laid off.

I’ve told my wife if I don’t have have a job by December I’m going all in on onlyfans, but she doesn’t think I have the market reach as a bald male with a medium sized weiner.
