What are they doing now instead?
Some are still unemployed. A few are doing contract work. One started a company, but won’t see any income for some time. I’m part of that friend’s company, but it’s uncompensated until it grows. In my case, I invested well and have always been very frugal so I’m surviving. Granted, it helps that my wife has a good paying job in tech. Over 40 women in tech don’t appear to suffer the same push out that white men do. Many millennials think we’re the devil, and they make up the bulk of the HR gatekeepers now.
