Close enough. I missed 2 vesting periods. But the severance and rapidly having a job made up for one and I got refreshers my third year that I hadn’t counted on.

I left debt free, sold my old home for exactly twice what I had built for 8 years earlier, downsized to a condo half the price I sold it for (and 1/3 the size) and I was debt free with savings.

I’m now a staff consultant working full time at a 3rd party AWS consulting firm with a lot less stress and still remote. They were the last to fall. But AWS made their ProServe department return to office at the beginning of this year.



Ah that's really nice for you. Congratulations for gritting the teeth and making through all those years.
