Semi-Retired Engineer

A cold feeling is spreading across America.

In July 2021, I quit my job for about a year due to burn out.

One of the worst projects I've ever worked on was a classified project at a large defense contractor.

My semi-retired status is official again.

(Click here for Part 1 and Part 2) All in all, I applied to about 20 jobs.

(Click here for Part 1) Once I started submitting resumes to job postings I found interesting, recruiters started contacting me in droves.

I knew for my next position I wanted a fully remote job.

Well, this blog experiment petered out rather quickly.

A recent post about early retirement by Jim from Route To Retire distills the reasons why I quit my job to take a break from work.

Now that I'm no longer working, my wife is the main breadwinner.

I struggled over the decision to quit my job for months.

I was always a good software engineer.

I've been interested in computers since I was introduced to them in the 3rd grade.
