Lots of PHP in Detroit
But that probably doesn't help you. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |
|
We're willing to relocate, but I don't know about Detroit
-- Drew |
|
It's a city in Michigan, but that's not important right now.
|
|
Have I told you recently that you're funny? No? There's a reason for that.

You don't have to live in the city to work there
I live near apple orchards and farms but work in the city. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |
|
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. |

Plus the Joe. Don't forget about the Joe.
Seriously, drook, keeping cringers fossed for you. |
|
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. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

Bummer.

That sucks
Sorry to hear. :( It's a good market, though. I'm sure you'll find something sooner than later. -Mike @MikeVitale42 "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania |

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

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. :) -Mike @MikeVitale42 "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." - Benjamin Franklin, 1759 Historical Review of Pennsylvania |

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.

Not that much younger
Though if I keep the beard short enough to hide the gray, people tend to underestimate. -- Drew |
|
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. Regards, -scott Welcome to Rivendell, Mr. Anderson. |

send a resume please, boss is interested

Yeah, working on a real business plan for that
-- Drew |

I love a feeding frenzy
One position, two different recruiters quoted salary range, and they're off by nearly 20% from each other. -- Drew |
|
But, one doesn't get paid a range.
Do thew ranges even overlap? But otherwise, good to hear! Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been.

|
"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. -- Drew |

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..

Meetings can fail for so many reasons
But yes, a weak moderator exacerbates pretty much all of those. -- Drew |
