Most of the way through interviewing at one of the evil empire tech companies. It is good to feel at least possibly employable!
I volunteered for a deferred resignation, which will be the end of my 18-year career as a Fed. I do data engineering, data viz and business intelligence primarily, have a bunch of experience in full stack web dev and will shamelessly mooch referrals. Multiple awards from a cabinet secretary!
Some good news - Wendell, who might have died from FIP only six months ago, probably will not die and seems to be getting healthier every day.
