High five! Thanks for your positive feedback and for doing your part to make the Technology team here at Morningstar even stronger. I obviously don't know what you work on, but as you know, Morningstar has built and acquired a great many products over the years. Most were built using the best practices and technologies of their day, so you will find some older products with technology stacks that are a bit long in the tooth. Most of the newer products and the ones being modernized, however, are being developed using modern frameworks and with a cloud-first approach as we begin to leverage more infrastructure in Amazon's data centers via Amazon Web Services. We're always looking at total compensation and benefits to make sure we're competitive globally. Beyond compensation though, there are many other reasons why Morningstar has been recognized as a Great Place to Work. Thanks again for the feedback
