I got a new job!

[rmcdaniels]

I got the verbal offer today. I'll be the east coast Consulting Engineer for http://www.pacstar.com . I'm moving from a two billion dollar company to a fifty million dollar company, so it should be interesting. I was out in Portland last week meeting everybody, and it's a very high-tech, and nicely laid-back bunch. I'm starting on 01/02/07 and can't wait, not that my current job was bad or anything, but the new job looks like a lot more fun.

awesome! congrats. so does the smaller company offer more in the way of financial compensation, or is it a move purely for the "fun factor" ?

[rmcdaniels]

Mostly fun, although I will be taking a position with a lot more responsibility and will be compensated accordingly. Smaller organizations are usually less structured, so I'll have a lot more freedom to improvise and use my judgement, plus I'll be a lot closer to upper management than I am now (current employer is a South African company).

cool! good luck in your ventures.

Moving to Portland or staying in NC?

awsome to hear, best of luck on the position, sounds like your really looking forward to it :cool:

[rmcdaniels]

I'll be staying in NC. They are doing a lot of business with DOD, so they need someone out here to work with federal customers in DC, Norfolk, Langley, etc.
