Stop working for companies, start your own. No DEI.
I’ve done a couple stints consulting on my own, but every time I eventually get asked to help develop a team to fix a problem someplace. I enjoy it too much to say no.
I’m not hurting by any means and I’ve not been afraid in my career to take whatever the consequences are - my integrity comes first...the only reason I haven’t retired at this point is my wife’s cultural fears (she’s Japanese) and the enjoyment I get developing the next generations as leaders and competent technical decision makers. Have a good 10-15 years left in me at a minimum.
