I lost my best and longest MT job in 2014 and it was a wild ride after that, including one final MT in-house position in 2016. That's where I learned that, for me, MT was over (long story) and after more plot twists I got my current position where I've been for seven years (today, in fact).

A lot of stuff is outsourced here too, but this specific area where I landed is very unusual and given the "nature of the beast" outsourcing is extremely unlikely (I won't say it could never happen).

I've always known I would not be retiring early or even semi-early so I am glad to have found this gig, though I am still sorry MT was ruined since it was a fine line of work once upon a time.

Job hunting/applying in general is a royal PITA and I've also experienced situations (in MT and other roles) where a good track record/proven performance didn't matter. It sucks.
