• Tulsa (https://tulsaremote.com/) and Barbados (https://www.insider.com/barbados-caribbean-work-live-12-month-welcome-stamp-2020-7) are trying to convince you to work remote there

• At the last place I worked I fought hard to use software as as service for as much as possible. Always, the pushback was “vender lock-in”. But, that lock-in never goes away: https://www.lastweekinaws.com/blog/the-lock-in-you-dont-see/

• Finally, what we already all know - tech interviews test for ability to deal with anxiety, not the job itself: https://news.ncsu.edu/2020/07/tech-job-interviews-anxiety/

By way of “encouragement”, I tried my hand at interviewing recently and after ~20 hrs of projects and interviews was rejected twice. Hiring is a crapshoot, so don’t take it personally and keep your chin high.
