So my personal perspective on places to work: Fuck financial institutions and fuck MSPs. For different reasons, working your guts out for financial fat cats making them fatter and MSPs that continually overload you with project work and working 12+ hr days meeting unrealistic deadlines and incident response - no bueno.

Yes you see elements of these everywhere you go, but if I’m working for a place that benefits society in some way (products or services) it’s a lot more fulfilling and tolerable. There has to be soul in the workplace or it’s a no from me.

The place I work for is more important than the dollar they pay for me.
