Similarly, no chance I’m ever going back to government work. It’s so slow to get anything done. So many approvals and nitpicking and meetings to talk about nothing.. I went back to try to bid on a contract right before Covid and immediately noped my way out of there because I forgot that the feds already have a contractor decided. the bidding process is just a sham to cherry-pick the good engineers from a struggling firm

Hey sorry for the late reply. I was doing software engineering for a FAANG but that ended earlier this year for my regularly scheduled sabbatical. I have been spending the last few months doing market research and building an open source cloud platform for giggles
