My job has come to end as of this Friday. They've decided to outsource the entire IT function, so we're all terminated. The good news is the company they're outsourcing to is willing to hire all of us, though we don't have offer letters yet, nor do we know what they intend to offer in terms of compensation and position. We're supposed to see offer letters in the morning.

Currently I'm a 'Business Analyst' and I'm 2 classes away from my Master's in Project Management. If I see a nice letter today, I'll take it at least until I'm done with school - otherwise I'll email you this afternoon :)
Thanks!

I'm having doubts that I'll fit in here, though. They're an M$ shop, fervently and evangelistically so. It's pay, though - and at least the first project is interesting. I see myself job hunting when I finish with my master's in June.

Good luck and keep your eyes open whether this work or not.
Doesn't sound like this has long term prospects no matter how it goes. It's better to have a job while you're looking though.
Best wishes.
