    Default Looking for a job.

    Was let go today, for no good reason; "it isn't working out" it's what I was told. After almost 6 years, and one of their best workers. I knew the COO didnt like me.

    But, I am/was an FHA mortgage underwriter and have my Direct Endorsement. I have a Mathematics degree, and mortgage experience; but I am open to any industry and or manual labor. Only thing, my current budget, with a baby and wife at home not working, is based around a $80,000-$85,000 per year, but am willing to make things work.

    Please let me know if you have any leads or openings. Resume and references available. Thanks!!

    That's a lot of money. There is no way you can pare that down a bit? Or a lot? Especially now that you are unemployed. You may need to look at your budget and knock off some nonsensical expenses.

    You think you need 80 to live, but as a math guy, I bet you could find a way to live well on half that.

    Probably some federal workers around the Fed Center are looking at the same range.
    Pay Check to Pay Check, it is amazing how fast a person reaches that amount - mortgages, car payments, child care, food, insurance, etc.

    Mortgage Industry seems pretty cyclical - is it the time of year contributing to the lay-off?

    Your degree in Mathematics, undergrad or graduate-level? Depending on your capabilities in that area, and if you know how to code at least a little, may be beneficial to look into any openings or even project gigs around data-science, AI, or game/physics engine development...LOTS of time and money being spent in those areas at the moment, and good mathematicians can be hard to find...That said, not sure how much of that is happening in CO, which may complicate things.

    Might also be worth looking into potential openings with large insurance groups, etc., working with actuarial models, as the Math and Mortgage experience might play nicely there...

    Yeah, we could probably trim it down to the lower 70s if I'm being honest and strict. But yeah, wife has decent student loans, and what previously killed it was almost $900 per month I had to pay for family medical insurance, as my previous company had awful coverage options. I guess I could lower my 401k contribution from the income too if needed.

    Thanks for the heads up guys, I'll recalculate everything this weekend. If anyone knows of anything am I'm flexable on the pay, as you all said I can get by on lower.

    But also, unfortunately I don't have an coding knowledge.
