With all due respect I disgust you? I've devoted my life to helping others, saved thousands of lives, repaired families and communities, won numerous awards, went through Y Combinator, raised millions of VC dollars, partnered with 300 community organizations and the cities of SF, LA and NY, was named one of the most influential people in DE&I, and made very little money for it. I'm 68 years old, and probably have one more big thing that lies ahead for me, so I want to make sure it's optimally impactful. I disgust you? lol. You made my day.

Your post and tone shock me. OP is being completely reasonable to look for a job that's a good fit. If your rant is really about you being upset that a service you like is shutting down, why are you making it about something else?

Maybe you are having hard day or bad experience in similar situation, still you might consider taking a break and re-read your comment and see if you would like to hear similar criticism for yourself.

The ad hominem in this post is uncalled for and unnecessary. There are lots of reasons that a job offer might not be a good fit, and there is absolutely no obligation to accept the first offer that someone makes you. Trying to find a good role and asking HN for advice / leads is not something to be ashamed of.
Best of luck to OP, I can't help at the moment but I am sure you will find something you are excited about.

Thanks, Peter. That was an odd response from that guy.
