Lost my remote job out of nowhere, not sure how to feel or what to do next._.
I'm a hydraulic engineer based in Latin America working remotely since there are no local opportunities in my field. I spent the past year doing part time remote drafting Plumbing Sets for residential and commercial projects in Florida and honestly thought I was doing well.
Last week my employer called me out of nowhere. I figured it was to discuss going full time since I've been working for a year. Instead, he told me my position had been filled by someone else and that part-time didn't work for his business anymore.
I'm not really sure how to feel about it, part of me wants to reach out and ask for a proper explanation, part of me just wants to move on. Has anyone been through something similar? How did you handle it? I'm a little burn out so I don't know if change my career path to something more abroad. If doing so, what path do you recommend following? I have spent 3 years developing this path so maybe is not that late to change to something like coding? Idk
