alum Nick Thompson, it seems that being on the Netflix reality dating series has taken a toll on his life that he wasn't expecting.Thompson recently chatted with ET's Kevin Frazier and opened up about his criticism of and Netflix, and his claims that he is on the brink of homelessness, due in part to his role on the show.Thompson was laid off from his job as a VP of marketing back in November, «And since then I’ve been looking for a new role in marketing and tech, and I have been not taken very seriously.»«I've done everything right.

I focused on my career, I saved… [but now] my unemployment’s gone, I had to cash out my 401k so I can just keep paying my mortgage,» he shared. «I'm at the point where I've applied to over 400 jobs and I've got about two months left of paying my mortgage in my bank account.»According to Thompson, he feels his role on the show hasn't just impacted his ability to get a new job, but may have played a role in him getting terminated in the first place.«There were a number of layoffs, but it was a week after my name was not politely mentioned in the media, so I think that might have been a contributing factor when decisions were being made,» Thompson said. «That's speculation, of course, but after the show came out… I definitely felt like I wasn't taken as seriously anymore… people would treat me a little bit differently and not take my ideas or my work as seriously.»And Thompson says his fame also «changes the whole dynamic» when he's interviewing for jobs.«It's not about my skills necessarily anymore.
