    I woke up this morning to find an offer letter in my in-box! WOOT! The name of the company is UDP. [EDIT] I did this without a headhunter. That makes three jobs in a row that I've managed without the "help" of a headhunter.

    Congratulations - When do you start? I'm glad it's been such a brief interlude for you. It gives me confidence that there are plenty of jobs out there for the good people. United Dog Patrol? Universal Diarrhoea Prevention? Ugly Dinosaurs Party?

          Maybe they want you to mentor their Indian Programming Team via video conferencing and slightly crackly sound :) "Yes Mr John we can hear you.....Can you hear us?" JS/op "Sadly yes"

            Based on an earlier post telling the company has been in business over 40 years, it's this one[^], right?

              Well done and all, that was quick but then you are a good bet. If UDP are responsible for handing out these[^] then I guess we're going to see a bit of a cull :laugh:

                      That's some good news, John ! Congrats ! I started my third job this year and never ever saw a headhunter. They are definitely not a "must".

                                          Telco billing software, eh? That should be secure - my telco never gets tired of billing me! And they could certainly use some talented help to improve services. Congrats, John! :-D
