In late 2018, I had just graduated university. I got an opportunity for a new grad contract job maybe 2 hours by car away. I didn’t have a car at that time so I advised the career agency that set it up that I would have to move there. The agency said it’s probably better that they try to find something closer to me.
A few months later, I got a full time job, not in the field I studied.
A year after that, COVID hit. It occured to me that if I had graduated just 18 months later, that new grad job would probably have been remote and I could have done it.
I stayed at the not-in-my-field job for years. I got let go for performance some months ago. I should have left years ago.
I’m sort of trying to get back into the field I initially studied, but also applying for anything that sounds like I might qualify for it. I do wonder ‘what if’ that new grad job had been remote.
