My first day at a new job
Going to work at a large financial institution with US headquarters in my town. As different from what I was doing as I could go without turning into an electrician. We'll see how it works out :)

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

so you have some sales skills...
to land a job for which you have no experience? neat trick. good on ya.
I've worked construction as an electrician's helper. It isn't so bad. More agreeable to me than other trades at any rate.
Have fun,

I think they are simply desperate for decent C++ programmers, and willing to take a risk on teaching one business side.

Least they're not like Arthur Androids
