I've also never been fired before. Getting a severance package contingent on the separation agreement, blah blah blah. I'm assuming it'd be prudent to have a lawyer check over this before signing anything? I'm far too stupid for legalese.
They're usually really straightforward and you're just agreeing not to disparage them in return for severance.

PM me the agreement I'm happy to look at it quickly for you.

And you pretty much need to have Remote due to your location at the moment? I know Remote work is much harder to find now and if you're not going for a Senior role you pretty much wont be offered it.
Would be preferred, but I am still an hour away from DC, so if I gotta commute, then I guess I gotta commute.

Another thing I have discovered in the current year environment is that if you are the one white dude who snuck in the door and are even remotely good, you are mostly bulletproof. Reason being is many companies have so many DEI hires who checked a box while having zero skill (or H1B1 Poo Invaders) that you basically are there to support the existence of the oxygen thieves in the department. Cutting the one guy producing means exposing the diversity hires to scrutiny. That developer diversity chart is real.

literally me and another guy loool

I am as antisocial as it gets in my own opinion. But being at home for YEARS eventually fucks with your head man. At this point I wouldn't even say no to a hybrid thing.

Maybe. But there's a whole lot to commuting that I don't miss. I work at a pretty small company, so there's very little chaff. As in, most people are at the very least competent. The need for "just look at my screen" or in person meetings isn't prevalent

I would second the advice of searching LinkedIn but not applying through it. Go directly to the company website.

Were you in a cleared gov type role? If so should be cake to find something.

If not - I know gov contracting isn't anyone's first choice lol, but should be lots of opportunity in the NOVA/DC area. There are lots of public trust roles that anyone can get. Check out Booz, GDIT, Peraton, CACI or any of the big boys. It can always be a gap filler while you continue searching.
