If you find yourself in this position, there are a few things you can do. Most importantly, it is to talk about it. This is a growing issue with society as well as a problem with the society, and there are always more people than you are in a similar position to you.

Realize the fact that it will take longer to find a job you are more senior, so try to plan in advance by saving in advance. The worst scenario can be up to 18 months without a full -time job.

In the meantime, stay as visible as possible throughout the process, keep yourself busy with mentoring to share some of your information with others.

Nobody willingly visits the ‘manager’s land’, but if you find yourself in this position, sometimes the first step of navigation is to know exactly where you are.
