    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.

      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".

                                    The name of the company is UDP.

                                    I hear they've just been taken over by TCP... :) Congratulations on the job though - hope you enjoy it.

                                      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.

                                      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

                                        Congratulations John :-) UDP sounds like they may be a low level networking software company.

                                          Well done sir! and so quickly, I might add. Probably a good thing the job was offered via Email and not in person, that way, they couldn't hear the fit of evil laughter that followed. :rolleyes:
