@it.accel: Thirty years is a long time to stay in any industry. What keeps me here is not the deals or the placements. It is the moments that remind you this work actually matters. The candidate who got the call they did not expect. The client who finally found the person they had been looking for. The person who took the leap and landed exactly where they were supposed to be. You do not get to manufacture those moments. You just have to show up consistently enough to be there when they happen. That is why I still pick up the phone.
