It's all over except the paperwork. As of this afternoon, I've verbally accepted an offer to work for BT-INS here in their Chesapeake regional office. I'll be functioning in a security practice lead type role, and already have a client spec'd out to join within the first week of being onboard. I'm looking for to the new opportunity and a chance to spread my wings a bit. And, given the financial slowdown at AOL, I'm not overly confident that there will be many good people and jobs left in the future. Articles like that one make it sound almost dire and hopeless. Rumors abound, of course, but I'd rather go find my bliss than wait around hoping for an upbeat note.
That's really all I wanted to say here today. Oh, I was extremely flattered to get a call from an exec a very large firm today asking me to reconsider my decision (I'd interviewed with him on Friday) to give them time to complete the interview process and make a competing offer. It didn't seem right to me to do that, however. Such are the ethics of my life. cheers!
