@ii_infinitumAndrew Good for you for looking for something better. We don't have to put up with this shit. I'm on the west coast, but we're an earthy crunchy place (although, sometimes that translates to laziness, so I know some businesses will still be using AI.) I don't know if they're hiring now, but I know this place has hired network engineers in the past. Again, though, it's in rural California. https://www.ics.tech/
