I'm pretty early career(graduated in 2012) and even I get harassed on the regular. Maybe they bother younger people more because they think we're less expensive(which is generally true) but the only "legit" linkedin recr

thanks for this. I clicked their link(on my less than a year old ~$2000 MBP) and it opened iBooks and sat there with a loading icon for minutes. My first and last experience opening iBooks.

Booz Allen runs the gamut(and I no longer work there, I hear things have changed) but straight out of college I had a 2 person office and it was great(also like 50-100% WFH for most folks who aren't working at a client place)
