So I accepted a job, I only have 1 other increasing cold lead. So here is how I got my job:

- I wrote a stupid post on linked in, it went viral and was shown to 325,000 people.
- A guy at Booz Allen saw it and offered to refer me & put in a good word for me. This is the phenomena of people treating the referral bonus as a side hustle.
- My wife filled in a bunch of applications
- I did the HR call and & one zoom call
- I've been hired to do "Devops engineer" work at Treasury

I took a pay cut because I'm going from supervisory to pure individual contributor.
Seems like salaries are flat or down from 5 years ago, at least in govtech.
