Would really like a new job after a long time in my current one, and an increasingly toxic environment. I've had a lot of progression in current role, know I'm good at what I do and am pretty confident my CV is decent. However, was told by a recruiter today that I'm basically unemployable. Reasons being- I need to stay within 30 mins commute of my home location to do school runs for the kids OR need a home based role; I currently work part time and would ideally like to remain so, although I do work 35 hrs which is not exactly insubstantial; I can't be travelling frequently, again because of the kids and schoolruns; I'm currently paid very highly for my role and our mortgage depends on this salary level. I don't know what to do...is it really the case that this combination of factors makes me unemployable? And, if so, do I have to accept staying in my company forever regardless how bad it gets - or where do I make compromises, which wont negatively impact my family?

So apparently I'm unemployable - what do I do about it?
