I resigned on Friday the 10th and got a formal offer for a bit more than I was making a week later. still interviewing though, obvs, but I'll probably end up there this must be a symptom of full employment in this industry, right? going from one six figure job to another in a week (or less depending on how you count) is an outlier, right?

I told them if they were dumb enough to call me on my office phone while I am at work, they were too dumb for me to want to work with. in other news, i had an initial phone screen last week with amazon that went pretty well, but i have not heard good things about working there. at the very least, it was some interview practice i guess.

It's the hottest market since the first dotcom bubble. I might be biased because the embedded world in particular is seeing more investment and more opportunities than ever before, but my feeling is that salaries are way up everywhere because demand is outstripping supply. yesterday I gave a recruiter a ridiculously high number and he didn't even flinch.

I get some scumbags doing this every once in a while. all it tells me is that they found me on LinkedIn but haven't paid for a recruiter access to send me email so they call my company directory and ask for me by name.
