Culture itself is good, people are eager to make great work and help each other. Unfortunately exec leadership has not treated people well (promos without raises, no comp increases in years, promos delayed for yrs, empty promises), which has left people in a fear mindset of being let go, being burnt out, or leaving without anything lined up. AI is dominating the convo. Things are tense right now though people are desperate for things to change.

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!
