Love the "McNulty Spectrum". I started out in corporate tech, but have been a lot happier at mission-centric orgs like libraries and research non-profits. The pay would be higher elsewhere, but rarely does a day go by that I believe my colleagues, and especially immediate manager, are not as into our work and mission as I am.

Don't have much substantive to add, just want to point out that it's really McNulty of you to have your username be JayLittle and identify with McNulty and not (Jay) Landsman or Omar (Little).
