Worked the last 25.5 years at Ameritech/SBC/AT&T as a technical architect creating full enterprise solutions. Unable to relocate to Dallas back in 2019/20 so was moved from AT&T to contractor with Tech Mahinrdra but in same role. AT&T now moving contracts to IBM and I am not confident of security at IBM so ready to move on. Planning on working another decade or so before retirement.
