    43. Munich. Advertising CD, currently unemployed (this is unintentional). Not married/no kids (this is intentional).

    On the one hand, I've had an amazing run of using my career to see the world. Left Canada in 2006, did Belgrade (2 yrs) > Amsterdam (2.5 yrs) > Copenhagen (2 yrs) > London (3 mths) > Montréal (1 yr) > Munich (2.5 yrs) > Düsseldorf (2 yrs) > Berlin (6 mths) > Munich again (since Oct last year).

    On the other hand, since arriving in Germany, I've had a string of bad luck with agencies losing clients/needing to reduce headcounts within six months of my arriving there, so I was the last-in/first-out guy (except for that one multinational agency I worked for, and quit because I absolutely couldn't stand the people there).

    I'm starting to really feel the pressure of age in this industry, and also recognising that, at my level, there simply aren't that many jobs to go around. It's really discouraging.
