What I’m looking for in a job
November 22nd, 2006 . by polyGeekWhat I’m looking for:
- A place that is doing some cool work with Flash and needs some amazing Actionscript work. If you frequently find yourself needing the impossible done then I’m very interested in working with you.
- Is looking to expand into Flex and Apollo.
- Would like to find someone who can handle advanced coding along with UX and graphic design work.
- A work environment that balances being conductive to long hours of hard work and playful fun between co-workers.
Things you should know before contacting me with job offers
Current situation: I’m working for the EXG team at Microsoft as a contractor. My first year will be up in February and that means it’s transition time. I’ll probably be signed on as a vendor or something like that. It’s possible that I could get an offer to work directly for MS. Right now I’m just looking to see if there are any better positions out there. That said, I have a pretty damn good one right now.
As I mentioned above, I work for the EXG team at Microsoft. That’s the team that built the XBox/360, Zune and others. That means I’m prototyping some really cool stuff and I get to build RIA for Xbox.com and Zune.net. Getting to work on cool shit goes a long way with me. I’m excited about technology, science, entertainment and such. If you have a job opening for a real estate firm or something like that then you might want to just go to the next resume. I’m not going to be interested.
- Relocation: there are a number of cities in California that I would consider. British Columbia is an option. And my wife and I love to live in London or Northern Europe, Australia, New Zealand, or Asia.
- I’m looking for a pay rate in the 90k range, with benefits, vacation and training.
