An update on another's career path.

So, the other week I caught up with a guy who I know from grad school, who got into a low-level consultancy gig, for which he had to produce an entire podcast to advance up into a slightly higher-level job.

As it turns out, and as he had occasionally feared, the advent of remote work meant that the company found out that his job was outsource-able, and they shipped all the jobs to Argentina, and without trying to find anyone new jobs in the company.

"That's just corporate life," he was like.

He spent 6.5 years there, and was briefly at another place afterwards, but his skillset was misaligned and he only lasted a half year.

Now, he's starting up a teaching job at a religiously-affiliated high school, and it's at a payscale that's just slightly lower than what I make waiting tables!

His wife is concerned about the income level, but that's his best option since they have to stay in the area they live in. So, he's looking into what he can do for summers and sidejobs, to get more money.
