I was 46 when I was hired and it was my 8th job out of college. I was far from a naive college grad. I went in with a purpose - keep my head down for 4 years through my initial four year package, put it on my resume, build a network and leave for a smaller consulting shop.

In fact the only reason I got my job there was because a recruiter reached out to me about an SDE job on the retail side. There was no way in hell that I was going to sell my big house in the burbs of Atlanta (at the time), uproot my life after Covid and work for Amazon. I knew what I would be getting into.

She then told me about a “permanently remote”,”field by design” role at AWS ProServe. I was like sure why not?
