It's kind of hard to figure out what "career" means when you're 48 and already living on your post-CISO-burnout farm in the middle of nowhere surrounded by cats and antique tractors.

"Career progression" is a weird concept when you consider how much work it took me to be a rainbow haired engineer lady who is just senior enough to get summoned like the fae to keep clouds from bursting into flames or clean up messes but not so senior as to spend my life in zoom meetings.
Where am I suppose to desire to go from there?
