Thumbs up Merry Christmas to me!
I got a call from a Corp recruiter out of the blue the week of Thanksgiving. They found my resume online and wanted to talk. I told them I wasn't looking but would hear them out until I didn't like what I heard.

Fast forward 5 phone screens and a 3 hour on-site and they called with the offer last night. 15% raise and a 15% year end bonus. Benefits equivalent. Commute less than 1/2 the distance. Easy by bike for sure.

I turned in my notice and will be starting Jan 13. SCORE!



Now, about those HSonPlus Archtypes with CK hub wheels I've been eyeballing...

i am offended when people wish themselves Merry Christmas
how dare you? You probably just got confused and meant to say Happy Holidays to Me. No really congrats and good on you.

Great for you, but what about us ? Will you have more or less time for your "real" job?

Mike
I'm an IT business analyst and project manager. This position is more of an application architect position. They needed someone in my speciality field (loyalty programs)
