New job
-
Today is my last day in my current job. I'm leaving the corporate development world to go back to the small software company world. I start my new job Monday, which is also my birthday. So that's my birthday present this year.
Funny, I'm leaving my job this Friday (a day before my birthday) in a small software company (I've worked for two startups in the last 4 or 5 years) and moving to a big company (Microsoft). Congrats on your move and an early happy birthday!

Hey, congrats to you too! Microsoft, wow, obviously they had to make you one of those offers you just couldn't refuse, right? :-) What are you going to be doing there? Are you moving to Redmond? Good luck to you, you certainly deserve it. Regards, Alvaro

Thanks! I'll be a Software Design Engineer in the Developer Division Sustained Engineering team, which works with the .NET, Visual Studio, and Windows Scripting teams. It'll definitely be an exciting opportunity, one I've wanted since I was very young. My wife and I will move to the Seattle area. Not sure exactly where, yet, but we have some time to look around and decide.

That's awesome. Congrats and have fun picking out a new home :) "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

Now that sounds like fun! Congrats! Guess we will not see as many posts from you after you start working there, not enough hours in the day ;) Rocky <>< www.HintsAndTips.com www.MyQuickPoll.com www.GotTheAnswerToSpam.com

I always liked working for smaller companies. Better to be a big fish in a small pond that a small fish in a big one ;) Seriously, there are down sides depending on the profitabilty of the smaller company and sometimes the benefits and chance for advancement as not as good, but it is great to work in a place where your work makes a huge difference and you can really feel like you are part of something.

Here's hoping that on your first day at the office, you are greeted with a birthday cake. Good luck to you. :) Chris Meech I am Canadian. [heard in a local bar] I think people should be required to have an operator's permit to use the internet. John Simmons

Our development team is pretty small, even at the big corp. And profitability is a plus side at the small place I am going. I'm in the healthcare field right now and the new Medicare reimbursement rates that kick in next year are going to seriously impact companies like the one I am leaving. Jeff Martin Triple20 Software

Thanks! In the offer letter, it said I get my birthday off each year. I considered telling them that I wanted it off this year :D . I get it as a floating day, so maybe I'll take it later. [edited to fix the smiley] Jeff Martin Triple20 Software

Probably not as many, but I'm hoping that CodeProject can serve as my "community service", which every engineer there is required to do (just usually in the newsgroups). I also plan on doing a lot of backpacking. :)

I'll get right on that. :) It does look nice. It'll be nice having geeks to talk to that understand me, unlike my current job (though Tom Larsen does). I won't carry as much weight in the company as I (am supposed to) do now, but it'll be nice working for a company that might not vanish next week!

I agree with you in ways, but I've worked for two companies where I could (and did) make a very big impact, but I was always fearful for the stability of the company. Proplanner (my current employer...until tomorrow) is starting to stablize after 2+ years, but it's just not a good working condition wondering if you (or anyone) will have a job tomorrow (because the company might fold). It's caused a lot of stress. That, and Iowa is incredibly boring. :zzz:
