What's better than quitting a job to go to small(er) company? How about three days before you officially start, that smaller company is acquired by one of the largest software companies in the world?
Seriously. I left big giant corporate America to a minor league player. Only to be thrust back into the big leagues before I even start. Good times!
I'm laughing so hard I'm crying. Or at least that's what I'm telling family.
I don't know what this all means other than that God has a twisted sense of humor. I do know that my experience over the last 16 months in working for a Fortune 10 company (which is leaps and bound different than working for a Fortune 500) will definitely be put to use.
And without all the emotional attachment of working for a company for six years and then watch it get picked apart in an acquisition and have to mourn all that once was better/different/comfortable and say good-bye to good people... well, none of that exists this time. So in some respects it may be easier.
Or I may be looking for another job sooner than I expected.
