I understand that senior level position problem. After 15 years in aerospace computer engineering, aerospace in Calif crashed around 1994. Finding another position was impossible & the commercial sector had no interest hiring a high paid aerospace engineer. It wasva horrible place to be in especially with everything else that was bad in my life (marriage) put me in a financially trapped position.

Never did find a position & had a breakdown instead.....it wasnt a good time in my life. Dont remember much during those 13 black hole years.
