问HN:面临失业——接下来该怎么办?

2作者: octo8889 个月前原帖
大家好,我真的需要一些建议。 我可能很快就会失业——无论是被解雇还是我自己先辞职。健康问题、情绪崩溃、处于自闭症谱系、社交技能差,使我与同事之间的工作关系已经无法修复。 所以,我在计划我的下一步。 一些背景信息: - 我40岁。 - 我在建立人脉方面有困难,因此没有任何专业联系。 - 我的储蓄可以支撑大约两年,如果能找到一份兼职工作,可能会延长这个时间。 - 我已经多年没有面试过,面试时会感到极度焦虑。 - 我是一名技术通才。 - 我对科技和企业世界感到相当失望,也有些疲惫。对于这种人工智能的炒作、敏捷开发、不得不假装对最新的流行事物感到兴奋、关键绩效指标等,我感到厌倦。 人们说我在两个非技术领域还不错。在这些领域,有一些相对简单(但并不免费的)资格认证/课程我可以考虑(我不想在这里透露具体信息)。我也愿意考虑自雇。 我还希望利用这段时间专注于我的健康(我有一些需要和医生讨论的问题,还需要锻炼身体)、多见见家人,并改善我的心理健康。我也希望能将我的技能用于一些不只是让富人更富的事情——也许是一些本地的、为慈善机构服务的项目。 ……还是我在做梦,这是一种我无法承担的奢望? 如果你有建议、想法、个人经历等,我将非常感激。

Hey everyone, I could really use some advice.<p>I’ll likely be out of a job soon — whether I’m fired or I quit first. Health issues, silent breakdowns, being on the spectrum, poor social skills have caused me to damage my work relationships beyond repair.<p>So, I&#x27;m planning my next steps.<p>Some context:<p>- I’m 40.<p>- I struggle with networking, so I have no professional connections.<p>- My savings can last about two years, and a part-time job could stretch that.<p>- I haven’t interviewed in years and get extremely anxious in interviews.<p>- I&#x27;m a tech generalist<p>- I&#x27;m quite disillusioned with tech + corporate world, and a bit burnt out. This AI hype, Agile, having to fake excitement about the latest shiny new thing, KPIs etc.<p>People say I&#x27;m pretty good with 2 non-tech things. There are some relatively easy (but not free) qualifications&#x2F;courses I could do in those areas (I don&#x27;t want to dox myself here with specifics). I&#x27;m open to being self employed.<p>I also would like to use this time to focus on my health (I have things I need to escalate with my doctor and I need to work on my body), see more of my family, and work on my mental health. I&#x27;d also be interested in using my skills for something other than making a rich person richer - something local, for a charity perhaps.<p>...or am I dreaming and this an indulgence I can&#x27;t afford?<p>If you have advice, ideas, personal experiences, etc, I’d really appreciate it.
