Comment on Ask HN: Am I committing career suicide?parent

Comments

Ok, I remember at least two of your HN posts, the zsh and university hacking. That makes you stand out if only in this little world

Trust me, your problem is not a three month or 11 month hole in your cv. I am guessing its the wrong marketing. A cv is not a way to find a job, it's a piece of paper used to fiddle with during an interview

Try (and this is really wild guesses based on your posts)

- there are hundreds of (tenured) academics who would love to setup "institutes" or other vehicles for their favoured area

- you have years if academic, IT experience so you talk the safe language and also know arse from elbow.

- co-run / co-start these institutes - one conference, with the professors network attending, you supply IT and find sponsors. I am guessing they will eat your hand off.

Maybe I am way off base, but honestly it does sound like you are looking for another replacement job - if there is one thing I have learnt here, anyone on HN does not have the "right attitude" for employment
