Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 2039812, member: 6927"] [B]2. You worked at SNY in a major media market, which some would actually consider a career high. Then you covered the Olympics for NBC last month. But now you’re unemployed. How are you processing this vertiginous career arc? And what is it like to be without a job as a TV broadcaster? [...][/B] [INDENT]It is striking to say “From the Olympics to unemployed!” but let me clarify, I asked for this. Months before NBC called about the Olympics, I told my bosses I didn’t want to re-up at SNY so I could move back to the west coast. I had five wonderful years in the nation’s number one market and it was hard to leave, but there was something in me calling out for a change. My career has been climbing up, up, up and I can’t tell if where I’ve stopped right now is before a cliff, a traverse to something different, or a scenic viewpoint with more room to climb. I have no idea what’s next. I took a risk by leaving SNY when I didn’t have my next job lined up. I’m in the Bay Area now and there are places out here I’ve been talking with. I have a resume I’m proud of, but I can’t control when a job comes open. I knew that. What guided me to take this risk is my desire to reshuffle priorities. Loved ones first, career second. I’m not giving up my career, but I’m putting it in a place that feels better.[/INDENT] [URL="https://30letter.wordpress.com/2016/09/01/a-qa-with-sportscaster-kerith-burke-on-the-future-of-broadcasting-being-a-woman-with-an-opinion-on-the-internet-and-being-named-kerith/"]A Q&A with sportscaster Kerith Burke on the future of broadcasting, being a woman with an opinion on the internet and being named Kerith[/URL] [/QUOTE]
