You:

Motion Graphic Designer
Working for COMPETE has been fantastic. I work remote from wherever I want. I am old and COMPETE gave me a shot at a new career, which isn't a normal thing for a tech company. I also am married with a young family. I get to see my kids all the time and COMPETE is flexible, allowing me to have the role in their lives I want.
