WOOT! Job! - Son of Interview [modified]

[Douglas Troy]

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:

Actually, that's probably more true for people working for defense contractors. In my case, my salary will be reapportioned to those that really need it.

I don't know, but maybe I'll ask on Monday (my 1st day). All of the people I talked to yesterday say they frequent CodeProject. On my resume, I included the fact that I am "published" here, and mentioned my MVP awards.

I contacted them last Monday, and after a brief phone interview with their lead programmer on Tuesday, he was out of town for the rest of the week, and I had to wait for him to come back (that was a long six days, considering there wasn't much else available on the job front here). When I saw they'd been in business for over 40 years, I was eager for things to progress. I printed out almost their entire web page so I could read up on it before actually going in the building for the interview.

Congratulations - very well done indeed.

Yes, all of it will, and because you're going to be making significantly more than $250k/year, you'll go back to paying taxes like we were during those miserable Clinton years.

If this is UDP the payroll company, maybe you can make their software not completely suck.

I can't believe it took that long for someone to make a UDP/TCP related comment. Also, damn! You beat me to it! ;P

I think this is a different UDP.

I have been thinking about joining that bandwagon myself lately. Congrats... Doing anything interesting?

If it's new, it'll be interesting. :) They're going to convert all their mainframe and Java code to dotNet.

Nice. At least that means you have a spec (old code)
