Thanks for the advice, but I'm not in the US - I'm somewhat across the August slow-down though due to keeping up with overall macro markets etc.
P.S. Australia's Reserve Bank is a couple of hours away from raising interest rates again. Currently it's sitting at 1.35%, expectation is for a 50 basis point increase.
Also not in the US - Eastern EU. Switching jobs on an almost annual basis I've found that large organizations all over the world think in quarters, so smaller ones are compelled to as well.
