Job Search 2.0
Four weeks ago I gave notice at Bulletin and start working with the guys at SecureMX tomorrow. I've been meaning to write something on this for the last four weeks or so but never really managed to get there. In a quite timely blog post Ted Leung wrote regarding his recent move to Sun Microsystems:
Having a blog turned out to be quite important. At least one opportunity came via e-mail with a preamble that went like this: “You don’t know me, but I’ve been a reader of your blog for a long time”.
The gig at SMX came via similar means with the dev manager having been following my blog, and another employee mentioning I was possibly looking around and landed on my doorstep quite out of the blue.
It's been an interesting 5 years at Bulletin with a mixture of interesting, and hair-pulling projects (I'm sure I used to have hair!) and I'm sure the move from filthy SMS spammer to Anti-spammer will be an interesting ride with SMX over the next few years and beyond.
