We've seen what they've done to President Trump, we've seen the attacks that they continue to go after him with. That's - that’s being taken completely out of context. And President Trump hasn't been the one that weaponized the DOJ to go after his political enemies. I think that's a pretty controversial pick, from whatever pronoun that he or he - he or she decides to use.

You can use those preferences to filter your job search and to inform your discussions with a prospective employer. How to counter an offerIf your preferred job arrangement, such as fully remote work, isn't a complete deal-breaker, Goredema encourages you to continue the interview process until you receive a job offer. An offer in hand puts you in a "much stronger" position to negotiate the terms of your employment.
