I’m an angel investor. I work 2 days a week taking pitches from startups, evaluating them, deciding to fund. I’m in a group of investors similar to y-combinator. I make money on the exit. The goal is for the startup to be acquired.
35 yr Band 4 eng in mid 60s while at Hon. Not once did anyone offer to mentor me or actually mentor me when I asked. Could be the male managers were all VP Pence types about women back then. Everyone I mentored left HON.

This was definitely worth the sacrifice of dignity at work and lifestyle at home for those many years.
GS job in Tampa. Great benefits
Raytheon in Tucson for me ... and I could not be happier. Opportunity in crisis as they say.
Cashing out my pension first, then transferring the 401k.... nothing left from Honey but memories (the good, the bad, the ugly, and the really ugly).
Retired after 30+ years and living the dream!
