All that wasted time and stress interviewing with company 1 – I met so many people there already – only to reconfirm to myself that I really don’t want to be doing any kind of sales or pre-sales role. Maybe 2 years ago.

Then there’s company 2 that I talked to last night – a senior Russian guy who looks like he might be riding Harleys on his spare time – really pleasant, really smart – but a workaholic who gets up at 5am on his own (what is it with these people), and it is not impossible that he is a trumpist.

And I have lunch with my boss tomorrow and I know he will be pushing a product role for me – something I’d die for 3 years ago – but I know this product is beyond saving. I worry that this nice company is doomed in the long term.
