Can you add England/Europe listings? :)
I do projects that last from 6 to 18 months, and in each one I learn about a new business, and often learn about a new technology. it keeps things fresh and interesting.
I can do this because my skill set is pretty broad and I have spent time building and maintaining a big network over my career - not necessarily attributes that can be acquired quickly.
I guess the only actionable advice is to consider working out side FAANG, and be open to consulting vs. employee. There's plenty of reward and plenty of interesting work out here.
I was amazed that there were two model train shops within 10 minutes walk of our place in Barcelona. In a dense city, specialist businesses can thrive.
I had pre-flighted the transaction by phone, but it was still a strange thing for the office to do a retail transaction - I think my change came out of the postage money drawer. The machine was handed over in brown corrugate, without shiny shelf-ready packaging.
Many hours of programming and experimentation ensued.
I bet it's intended to be pronounced "Better Eff Ess."
"They are rigging elections, they are botching troop withdrawals to flood western countries with refugees, the American border is being invaded by hundreds of thousands of people, they are buying up single family homes and pricing you out of the market, they are printing endless money and inflating your currency."
People of all ages vary in their IT abilities, and IT abilities are obviously what matters in dealing with issues like backup.
There's just no reason to bring up age at all.
