Bay Area tech workers may face career limitations

mercurynews.com

Young tech workers at Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) may face career challenges due to their controversial roles. Critics allege that their access to sensitive government data poses risks, and lawsuits have emerged against DOGE's operations. Some workers, like Akash Bobba, have been named in legal filings questioning their qualifications and the legality of DOGE's actions. The group, created under former President Trump, aims to cut government spending but has drawn significant political backlash. While some experts suggest that skills gained at DOGE could lead to future opportunities, the politically charged nature of their work may limit options in certain sectors. Connections made through DOGE could benefit them in conservative circles or companies aligned with Musk.
