I had no success of being hired either
But I had some talks to people who left the industry and it surely didn't sound like the holy grail. So I'm very unsure what to do. I like what I can do with private projects which usually turn into non designed hack almost instantly, but working in the industry is not like this (for very good reasons).
All I miss is a small team. Doing all alone sometimes leaves a dull "I didn't arrive yet" feeling. If you know what I mean.
