Are you interested in consulting? It would require 100% travel but if you like that it has it perks.

I applied for some tech job there last week, as for the call center I had a friend who works there (pretty sure she still does) and for the starting it would be too large a pay cut for me (not in the ****y way but in the I need to pay my bills way lol)
