The fate of hundreds of employees after Obama leaves the White House.

Donald Trump's unexpected victory has completely closed the possibility that any of Obama's nearly 500 staff members will continue to work in the White House.

Their BlackBerry phones still ring, day and night. Currently, President Obama's aides still have many things to worry about, from matters involving world leaders, to distant wars requiring assistance, to decisions affecting the nation. All of that busyness will completely end on January 20, 2017 – Inauguration Day.

According to AP, hoping to ensure his staff would find good jobs later, President Obama and his team invited representatives from Facebook, Instagram, and other companies to provide "job market education" to White House staff. LinkedIn leaders also assisted White House staff in identifying ways to "market" their skills.

Georgetown University, located not far from the White House, also designed a customized career development program called "Future 44"—Barack Obama being the 44th President of the United States. This program would teach Obama administration staff how to adjust to life after leaving the White House.

"You have to go through a detox period," said Michael Wear, who worked under President Obama for four years. "It's like my brain; after working too many hours and concentrating intensely on so many things, I become forgetful. For example, even though I was wearing my glasses, I kept asking my wife where they were."

Even before the election, virtually none of President Obama's aides expected to continue working in the new administration. Some staff were completely exhausted and anticipated that even if Hillary Clinton won, she would want to install her own team. However, Donald Trump's unexpected victory completely closed the possibility that any of Obama's nearly 500 staff members would continue working in the White House.

For those who dedicated themselves wholeheartedly to President Obama during his eight years in office, often sacrificing vacations and family reunions, Donald Trump's victory was a blow. And the reality is that, with Republicans now controlling both the Senate and the House of Representatives, the chances of Obama's aides securing government jobs are even slimmer.

At Georgetown University, 271 former Obama nominees participated in the Future 44 program, a free program funded by anonymous donors. Participants enrolled in either a four-session, two-hour course or an eight-hour intensive program.

Many outgoing White House staffers are expected to move to San Francisco and New York, areas with high-tech jobs and cultural sensitivities that intersect with Obama's White House culture. These staffers will find jobs similar to dozens of other former Obama aides who now work for Google, Amazon, Vice, Snapchat, and similar companies.

Ivan Adler, a headhunter at McCormick Group specializing in government affairs, says that most White House staffers work for one of two groups: consulting firms or lobbying companies, or organizations such as trade associations, think tanks, and non-profits.

For Wear, who stepped out of Obama's orbit in 2013 after the president's re-election, life after the White House has revolved around his consulting firm and his upcoming book, "Finding Hope," which explores the intersection of trust and politics in the White House.

"I've been healthier since leaving the White House. I'm really enjoying life right now," Wear said.
