Feeling a little desperate - not sure what to do
I live in a constant state of regret and self-loathing. I moved to the EU to chase my passion career and was able to land that first job in the games industry at 35. A little late but better than never, though I left a cushy but sort of dead end job in CA in tech. Fast forward to today, with AI destabilizing multiple markets, and greed fucking over the games industry post-covid: I am going on 8 months unemployed. There is literally nothing available or around in Germany for games. I do see, however, many more jobs in the surrounding countries that are want hybrid or remote from the country itself. I've been reached out to by a few recruiters looking to relocate me. Which is just not possible as I'm married and my life is here now. I'm not even sure I can get a fucking job at McDonalds it's so bad here.
I've been looking to widen my search and get into product management, since my game job has had me own different product areas and their success, but never held the title. So my CV is usually rejected immediately or I'm just straight up ghosted.
I'm so lost on what to do. There are at least two last opportunities I'm waiting to hear back from after a few months of silence. I don't have the most confidence they will pan out then I'm back to square one.
