I'm feeling very unappreciated at work. I'm a senior developer - nearly 54 now - and my level of output is very high but I rarely get any recognition, whereas I see younger workers get promotions and lots of encouragement. I think it’d just be nice to feel seen or appreciated - should I say something or just forget about it? I think it would be almost impossible to get another job at my age - what would you do?

What if my career is actually over! Landing an interview alone feels IMPOSSIBLE...every role has a crowd of people, endless competition, and I’m terrified I’ll never get ahead. I’m trying so hard, but nothing’s landing. How is everyone even doing to get by?

I have a good paying job, but it’s pretty niche. I have basically reached my max potential there and want more - I’m only 29. The environment is pretty toxic, male dominated, I’m a woman. I’m looking to move cities for personal reasons but haven’t managed to find a job in my chosen city. I have a science degree in my field I work in and now considering quitting to study a masters. Is this a good decision? Has anyone done this?

Question about resigning - do you write your resignation in the body of the email or as an attached letter - which is better? Every resignation letter template I see online looks like a formal letter - is this an outdated practice or are letters still the done thing?

Job hunting right now feels like a full-time job itself ❗️I’m well-qualified in marketing but haven’t landed a single interview after 50+ applications. 🫠 I’ve reworked my CV multiple times, yet all I get are rejections or nothing at all! Just venting a bit today..... but I’ll keep going. 😔 Any tips or advice would be great!

Got fired today - sad and stressed about it but I saw it coming. I'm here for words of encouragement as it seems bleak out there. I'm mentally drained to be honest. What are the sensible next steps for someone who's just lost their job?
