Being fired ended up the best thing that could have happened to me personally and professionally. After the initial shock, the chest pains at the end of the work day stopped. Visa restrictions (+ savings) allowed me the opportunity to delve deeply into new hobbies. The job search was stressful as I needed to try and explain the job gap, but in the end, the boss of a mutual acquaintance was willing to give me a chance. It’s been great. It’s been a fun challenge and my colleagues enjoy their work (very strange). And while I was also pretty confident about it beforehand, it really signaled to me the strength of the relationship between me and my partner.
