Much as I feel like a quitter, I turned in my resignation as a consultant for the company that picked me up. I'm just not able to keep up at the breakneck pace they're all set in and with how poorly the client treated me during the project + me admittedly feeling left out to dry for it, I think it's best I part and refocus on getting a job again.
Thank you! My self-esteem admittedly took a beating from that client after a particularly bad meeting/evaluation but I'll do my best to bounce back and find a new job. I am grateful for the experience since I was able to make some graphics I was proud of making + work on a project or two that I can show off on my portfolio/add to my resume.
Fingers crossed the next two weeks or so, something turns up for me in terms of a new job. I'm currently in a lot of final interviews and evaluation stages.
