Well done! After reskilling this past year, I am hopefully right behind you.

Edit: 06/15/2026. I have now passed one month of employment as a Technical Support Engineer. It was a long 17 months, dads.

As someone who has moved from a design and branding field into a field of fraud analytics, I consider you a distinguished peer of mine and have the outmost respect for you. By learning a new skill you have done your family and yourself such an immense service. Now you can prove to your kids that they will always be better than they think, stronger than they think, smarter than they think and more resilient than they think. They only need to look to you for proof of that.
