So……… WHERE ARE YOU GOING? (inquisitive minds want to know.)
Looking forward to the update. And congratulations on firing that AK!
congratulations. I bet all of those things felt good. real good. and, as someone who works in your field but otherwise knows almost nothing about your personal background/history/situation, I reckon that at least some of these decisions were made via ‘following your instincts.’ And in a field with few clear career paths and lots of controversy, instincts are usually your best resource. So, whatever is next, good luck!
