Finished IR and MCC in 2011, applied for jobs had one interview that I bombed.
found another, job IR lapsed. Decided to pick it up again a few years later which took some time. Had a couple interviews and even a second stage lined up. Then covid and Brexit. Licence is lapsed again and only valid in the UK. Not to mention most places are now asking for Upset training etc.
The „dream“ is now so detached from my life now I don‘t see the way in, nor am I willing to continually drop ££££‘s in maintaining everything with nothing to show for it.
I think we don’t hear from people that didn’t „make lt“ as they are busy doing other things and don’t like to dwell on it.
