In late 2023 a recruiter found me for a completely different job than I had ever done before. This was my escape route and I would have taken any exit path from software.

They found me from either LinkedIn or Dice. I had a US security clearance in hand and security certifications.

I remember years ago on here when developers scoffed with great arrogance and entitlement at the mere thought of professional certifications. Now many developers are struggling to find employment while I have choices they don’t have. The learn here is don’t let popularity and peer immaturity influence your career mobility.
