Have you thought about trying to get a job with a race team?

I know multiple engineering folks in the industry and they constantly tell me about how much the culture sucks. Very cool problems, but it's very cutthroat as you would expect.

This sounds like an opportunity to work with a lower tier race team to build reputation. Cool thing about racing, to the limit of the rules, the sport as a whole is receptive to the advance of technology if it confers a competitive advantage.

Boy, have I!

Acting on it, though... :-)

Life seems balanced now, I get to scratch my itches, not unhappy at my current job, and I don't feel like I'm saying "no" and making excuses. A tiny step here, a tiny step there, worst case it turns out to be a pleasant stroll.
