New York. Every phone call you make is routed to NYC 411 and then the operator will direct you to a website where you will fill out a form and mail it in.

The operator cannot answer your questions because they do know (not their fault) and cannot and will not forward your call to an actual staff member of the office you need to speak with.

NY and nyc is the absolute worst

Agree - forgot that it’s nearly impossible to reach an actual person in NY and their POA process sucks - only state to ever reject a POA and they never even notify you the POA has been rejected. In our case the POA was rejected because it was witnessed and not notarized when witnesses are totally allowed

DC ... ever try getting a VDA through?

Philadelphia. I know you said state but I hate hate hate Philadelphia

Arizona and Colorado always been hard to deal with

I’ve been published for some thoughts on cybersecurity, but it’s was in a smaller IT Magazine. I’m trying to find the best way to take it to the next step for a freelance writing side opportunity. The writing is very separate from anything I’ve worked on in the Big4 or other consulting firms.. more about cybersecurity overall and the future, regulation, etc.

Any advice would be welcome. Thanks!
