WOOT! Job! - Son of Interview [modified]
-
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:

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.

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 - very well done indeed.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.

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.

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.
"When you reach a certain level of comfort, there's nothing wrong with paying somewhat more." -- John McCain in 2000, on his vote against lowering the top tax rate from 39% to Bush's proposed 35%.

I hear they've just been taken over by TCP... :) Congratulations on the job though - hope you enjoy it.
There are three kinds of people in the world - those who can count and those who can't...
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
