Company is phasing out my job, any recommendations?

Trying to get a few more years in before I hang it all up.

You have to provide more details here.

How much do you have saved and in what retirement vehicles? House/cars paid off? Any debt? Kids in college? I’m sure there’s more but that’s a start.

I think this would be secondary to

Hard to give advice on looking for work when no one has any idea what type of work OP does.

Very tough situation to be in, best of luck. Call any and all of the professional contacts you have made in your fairly long career, that’s probably your best chance at finding similarly equitable employment. The resume route will be painful.

what other streams of income do you have?

if none why not?

not sure what you have or can do? trade? invest in RE? loan money? dividends?

just go buy a pre-existing business.

there are consultants you can hire to make sure it meets all criteria

good luck

I'm 56 and expect I'll be joining you soon.

23 years and no loyalty from company. They want to outsource my job to India.

There are youtube channels dedicated to career changes. The ones I have found focus on secondary streams of income (get a job and start a YouTube channel about your job to supplement the pay).

Without any additional information in the OP, my response is to use Google or YouTube.

Just trying to help, didn’t mean anything by it. Been around long enough, this board has been very helpful to me and I appreciate your contributions. I hope it has been at least as profitable for you as well.

oh i know. we just get too many like the OP who are hit and run posters who want help but do not bother to provide enough detail wasting everyone's time.

Pick an AI platform, upload your resume, and ask away. Ask it to interview you to help determine what someone your age and your experience would be most likely to be hired to do. If you would rather find a job you want to do, instead of being qualified to do, lead with that instead.
