Comment Re:No going back (Score 1) 123

What a ridiculous thing to say. Just jump to a different domain. Being a newbie in a new field removes any "target" you might have.

I was an engineering manager in the DoD world, managing teams that built C4ISR systems. I jumped from there back into straight front-line software development in the EDA world. I later jumped again into the fintech/regtech world.

Want a long career? Always be a newbie.

Comment Work Remotely (Score 1) 464

For the vast bulk of my career, I've worked remotely. This lets me get paid in Northern VA dollars without paying Northern VA prices. Effectively it's a 25% income boost. The only extended job search I had was when I worked on-site for a company as a contractor for 4 months while I looked for a permanent position working remotely. I actually live about 90 minutes from Northern VA (Fredericksburg, VA) so I can go in if I have to, but the houses are still half the price.

Comment Hospital Security sucks (Score 1) 116

In the 90's, I worked for a hospital that shall remain nameless. Their billing system had a root password of "Superman", and the vendor (on whom they leaned for everything) wouldn't let them change it. They also assumed phone lines were secure (which is a joke.)

I'd imagine things are better now, but there was really a total lack of security awareness at that time.
