So I'm changing jobs. I've been at EDS and HP for 12 years now, and it's definitely going to different going to work for a small company again. Not that I've been particularly happy at HP for some time now, but it's familiar and comfortable. Of course I was labelled as "jumping ship" by one of my co-workers when it got out on Friday.
Most of my career has been in network security and I only took the position at NII because it was close to home and required no travel while I was going through my divorce. Nor do I want to be someone who simply answers tickets in sm9 (the lousy ticketing system NII put in place). EDS/HP never did a good job of managing anyone's career and I got a chance to try and put mine back on track, so I took it.
I made my decision to leave EDS/HP in December, was just waiting until after my wedding and for the right job. Cloud networking is where it's at, in my opinion, and to pass up a chance to move back into security there is a golden opportunity.
All that aside, I liked my time at NII, I like the people there and I will miss it...
Oh and I'm already regretting not asking for a mac instead of a pc. Yeah, it's a learning curve for me on the mac after all these years of running xp/vista/7 for work and linux at home, but the mac is a great laptop, after all I'm writing this on a macbook pro... Duh!
