I'm Joining Google
For those of you who don't have insider knowledge (shame on you!), I have accepted an offer from Google and will be joining them shortly in their Mountain View headquarter. So yes, I will be relocating to Bay Area. And this allows me to escape from the horrible traffic in L.A. (If you want to argue the traffic is also bad in Bay Area, you have no idea what bad traffic is.)
It wasn't an easy decision. I lost my title of "Principal." (Even my other offer at least gave me a "Senior" title, although it is not a good time to join a company that has been messed around by that convicted monopoly.) I took a pay cut, made worse by knowing that I was about to get another raise. I will move from a small, noisy cubicle to sharing a cubicle with others. But the temptation of moving up north is too great to pass.
I need to thank Symantec, for an opportunity to an above average interesting job. Also for offering me to move to their Mountain View office once they knew my intention to go north. And the best of all, still paying for my CEAS registration. Free banquet!
