Living in DC during an inauguration weekend and it’s amazing how quiet the city is. Almost like it’s a pseudo rejection of MAGA. I’ve been here when this weekend was as lively as some of the biggest holidays. Not this year.

People are more keen on celebrating the Commanders but that’s another whole convo.

The Commanders playoff run is the only DC story I'm following this week. I have no interest in what's sure to be a circus of an inauguration.

We are two days in and it’s been a circus for real. Almost have to disassociate instead of watching the headlines as they pour in.

The Commanders look like the real deal. I hadn't paid much attention to them until Saturday but they looked legit. It's interesting that the city seems pretty quiet. I saw some interviews with people who said they'd flown in and with the ceremony moved indoors they had nothing to do. It's a city full of museums and historic sites, and they were complaining they were bored. Says it all.

Trying to figure out if I should start as an inbound SDR, or try jumping straight into an AE role in SaaS.

I left mortgages at the beginning of the year to start a franchise business, it's now semi-self-sufficient so wanted to start a career again and I live in the Silicon Slopes area. Everyone I know is in SaaS or software engineering.

Just wondering if I should push my resume as far as possible and try to snag an AE role or take my time in a new industry and start from the bottom.
