New Job Announcement
Its been a funny few months, I’ve been very active in the PHP community, mostly because I’ve needed some professional support and they are a wonderful set of people. They have been graceful to accept my attempts to contribute to the community and have supported and encouraged me every step of the way. Through this I came to do a PHP|Abstract podcast, a talk at a BarCamp, quickly followed by being stalked and offered a job by a very good local-ish employer. I ended up passing on the opportunity because it was the kind of local that is too far and awkward to do in the rush hour for every day, however the experience was amazing and I met some great people in the process. I studied for and managed to pass my ZCE exam, and in the same week parted company with my employers of almost a year. In the last five days I have communicated with some superstars from my industry, looked over my shoulder to find the other lornajane that surely they are actually looking for, received two excellent job offers from two uber cool companies, and accepted one of those offers. I owe thanks to many, many people for the moral support, listening and general egging-on they supplied – guys, you know who you are.
After all that – I need a nice cup of tea and a sit down … :)
Grats Lorna, they’re a great bunch! :)
Exciting news!
Congratulations!
Regards,
Rob…
Well done you :)
Welcome to Ibuildings! :-)
Good stuff. I know a guy in the Netherlands who’s working for them and having a great time. I think he’s also trying to promote symfony along side the other frameworks they use!
Wow, I’ve only been gone long enough to sleep and look how many people have dropped by! Rich, Chris, Rob, Saj, Ivo and Mike – many thanks for your kind words :)
