Director told me he is going to the C -Suite and asking for matches. I doubt the money will be a problem, but the WFH, I doubt they will bite since company policy is hybrid, and even they must come in.

Well slap my ass and call me gay. They gave me a slight raise but it's still like 10k short of what the state was offering.

BUT the CIO called and my director called me and gave the go ahead to work from home 100% of the time with a couple caveats. I need to come in if shits physically broke. Duh. Department meetings, or any that call for me to actually come in like town halls, trainings and shit.

Also a 2% increase in the yearly bonus. Not much, but everything counts.

I'm leaning toward staying now. The states inept handling of just hiring me leaves me with doubts.

Are you underpaid in your field? I can't imagine the state ever paying more than the private sector

Adjacent to the IT/Software topic. As I have mentioned before I work in the wonderful world of pre-sales Cybersecurity. I have been keeping eyes open looking for the next emerging real trend that I could be applicable for and everything looks like "Oh, you're a feature that someone else is going to acquire to put into their product" or "you're a niche technology, but good luck finding a market for that". Anybody else noticing this? It feels like we're in a major consolidation phase and there just aren't any really innovative smaller companies anymore in the cybersecurity space.

Hmm 22 still blocked. I can get about 6 hops away. The last hop is rest-b2-link.ip.twelve99.net which is in Reston VA.

Annoying. I guess I'll use 443 for now.

For once in my life I got good news here, sort of.

First, promotion was blocked again. There's some internal politics around where in a band you have to be. Whatever.

So I ended up getting 30% raise which to me is really nice. He also adjusted my bonus by taking from others. Supposedly I needed a 50% raise to hit the next level so he's going to try an out of band promotion.

I saw a guy today in a Toyota Camry with a bumper sticker that said "I ❤️ TypeScript" and his license plate was "JS ONE" or something. Handicap plates, of course. Was it one of you guys?
