“What a bunch of whining nonsense. If this life is so tough, become an accountant and sell the house. Having bought from his family in a down market does not leave that much to lose in a sale. I was also told by my government that the recession was over and that all was back to normal. What is the Times up to?”
I have a CPA & CFA and have been unemployed for 6 months despite looking around. Salary wouldn’t be an issue (want to stay active) and still can’t find a job.

Sorry to hear it — I hope you get something soon.
This sob story is about someone who had to take a lower-paying position to ensure his company continues to exist at all.
FWIIW (not bragging but hoping to instill hope): I am interviewing for a position tomorrow that will pay a substantial amount more than my current one (from the low to the mid 6 figures). This is round 3. Worst case, they can’t meet my demands and I stand pat. Best case, howdy new boss!
There are still opportunities out there and money to be made. Hang in there, keep your talent tool kit sharp, market yourself, don’t be shy.
