Welcome to IWETHEY!

New IWeThey - -
On the market. Anyone got any leads? Project management and/or PHP/web development.

New :-( Best of luck!
New Lots of PHP in Detroit
But that probably doesn't help you.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New We're willing to relocate, but I don't know about Detroit

Drew
New It's a city in Michigan, but that's not important right now.
New Have I told you recently that you're funny? No? There's a reason for that.
--

Drew
New rofl.
New You don't have to live in the city to work there
I live near apple orchards and farms but work in the city.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New The suburbs are beautiful.
I spent a great week up there years ago, camping at a KOA-like place, seeing the Ford Museum, Dearborn, Ann Arbor, etc., etc. It's a hidden gem.

But, look before you leap. :-(

Cheers,
Scott.
New Plus the Joe. Don't forget about the Joe.
Seriously, drook, keeping cringers fossed for you.
New Yes, lots of people equate the area with Detroit proper.
They're vastly different. When I worked in Troy or Farmington Hills, I never saw anything much resembling an urban area, unless you count Royal Oak.

Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson.
New Bummer.
Good luck!

New That sucks
Sorry to hear. :(

It's a good market, though. I'm sure you'll find something sooner than later.

New Yeah, I'm hearing promising noises from the recruiters
Looks like a good chance I'll end up with something better than I had.

New Re: Yeah, I'm hearing promising noises from the recruiters
Yep, that's entirely possible.

I left ThoughtWorks back in March to strike out on my own. I was on the beach (for the first time in my almost 2 years there) and had something fall into my lap. So I turned my side gig into my full-time gig. Not sure if you could do something like that, or if you'll have to go back to working for someone else...

Either way, best of luck. I wouldn't worry too much. It's a good market for good candidates like yourself. :)

New Good luck
I didn't wish to relocate so the only work I can find in the Cleveland/Akron area is contract work. I like the place I'm at now, but I don't know how much longer they can keep me. They brought me on as a six month gig and I've been there over a year. They seem to like me but upper management can apparently be dicks. I was supposed to be let go at the end of June but they got me extended for a while longer. I think it's going to keep going like this.
Good luck. You may have it easier since you are younger. Hope so.

New Not that much younger
Though if I keep the beard short enough to hide the gray, people tend to underestimate.

Drew
New It's a benefit, for sure.
I look about 10-15 years younger than I actually am. Sometimes I have the opposite problem of convincing people that I have the experience.

New Damn.. damn..
Shit, even I 'can tell' technomologically, that you Know your Shit, likely don't piss-off the proles and the wannabe-corner-office yahoos and all that stuff..
It's fucking-Disturbing ... amidst all the other daily-chaos when some corp-lackey ... well, you know.

Hope that you're quite-Right that: you're more likely to land a moah-bettah spot than this one.. :-)
(Sure be nice if.. Cooking Your Gramma could be a next bill-paying lateral-arabesque, eh?)
New Yeah, working on a real business plan for that

Drew
New I love a feeding frenzy
One position, two different recruiters quoted salary range, and they're off by nearly 20% from each other.
--

Drew
New But, one doesn't get paid a range.
Do thew ranges even overlap?

But otherwise, good to hear!

New "They're looking to pay in the $x range." Not actually a "range"
But I'm going to sit on my inner pedant as long as the normals have something I want.

New Was pondering your situation, (fwiw)
from having an idea of your fortés, lo these many years.. yourself (here) freed-from any Corp-cant whatsoever (except to mock the worst of it--as any sane one Would!)

Methinks that your talent for parsing loaded/ambiguous-sentences--and following through--where it matters: places you in good stead for Managing some group of talented Prima Donnas (the egotism of all-yout) whose linguistic skillz aren't nearly as functional as their logic-prestidigitations:
(this I merely presume to be a source of lots of wasted-thus-resented, "Meeting at 11:00-ses" as seem to be rote-protocols in most of Corporate-land.)
That deduced: merely by many verbatim descriptions in these parts--they add-up, y'know?

Concluding from that-all, that: the main annoyance (to folks here reporting) of 'useless-meetings': derives from their boring, scripted? sameness and also from the oft-social-cluelessness
of their er, Moderators?
[Any sense, thus far?]

Ergo: the consensus of the little-[i's'] here: is that you likely know about the boredom, also about antidotes--all as involve language, not just some content needing to be spread around to fellow toilers in the Boolean salt-mines. You could translate to 'fewer-words' the overblown circumnavigations of the less-ept/also add a few to the habitual *nix-brevity folk: to Good Effect overall.
All you'd have to do to land such a Position is (maybe; just a w.a.g. here, of course) work-up a sample dialogue of how You.. would keep an 'information-transfer' Meeting on-keel, on-schedule thus successfully-Overseen ... at the end. (Were boring, resented-meetings My bugaboo? while seeking Better from a new-hire: that is how I'd interview anyone (I hope!))

Yes, my comments re, a Corporate enviro of which I possess only hear-say 'evidence' is surely presumptuous [but, w.t.f.--I'm humble--just ask me.] *But I've had 'a crew' to 'manage' too, and I doubt that those interactions are much different in I.T.

" When I was elected Dictator, my Boss fairly-{chortled}, Well, Ash, how's it feel to be a Management-functionary? ... Eh? (I think I said.. Touché) I was, natch, the local-"Revolutionary" via his lights.

Anyway.. Luck, in the foray.

But yes, a weak moderator exacerbates pretty much all of those.
