There's a certain panic that hits in your 30s when you start wondering if the career you built is already slipping away. That was the reality for one man on the Career Guidance subreddit, who posted under the headline: "Found out I'll be losing my job at 33. Depression and little savings, how do I keep my life from falling apart?"
"I am 33, so it feels WAY too late to make any kind of drastic change," he wrote. After eight years in banking, most recently as a data quality analyst, he admitted the pay was below the national average for his age and the savings account he could lean on now held only a few thousand dollars. "I am only going to be able to survive a few months on what I have because I will not contribute less than 50% to our living situations."
