C-level people seem to often find themselves in such a scandal and are thrust into the limelight but are able to find a new position (usually) since C-level people are typically a scarce commodity.

But in this case, the person is a mid-level person who's been vilified in her industry in a very very public way. She obviously can't ever go back to being a developer evangelist. How does she find work again? Does she go back to being a developer? But will any companies take her then? (I guess the big companies would, particularly places like Yahoo which are ailing for talent)

I wonder how a person climbs back up after being thrust into a deep, deep chasm in such a public way.
