Doing the work is one thing, maintaining the brand, the legacy, the connections to make business happen is another.

If you think about it, this is the part that is not taught in schools/grad schools or even if you're a good manager. You have to be a truly respected leader in the field. One can always find the latest batch of graduates who know the latest toys anyway.

Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?
